Federal officials have charged multiple people who they claim discussed plots to attack the UFC fight night event at the White House, including by using drones and a gunman.
A team including the Secret Service and FBI uncovered messages discussing the plot between multiple individuals, according to criminal complaints against five people unsealed Tuesday (all times local).
According to a criminal complaint against one of the alleged plotters, the mother of one of the defendants - 19-year-old Tycen Proper - called local police on 10 June, saying she was "was concerned about her son" because of his recent conduct, which included buying guns and communicating with a group of radicals online.
Proper's mother had also seen her son researching mapping locations in Washington, DC, near the White House, according to the complaint, and told officers that her son had said the group was looking at multiple locations for "recon" and "hit and run missions".
