Student found with guns, body armor, diagram of Univ. of Delaware police department: authorities

Police in Delaware say the discovery of a vehicle in a park after hours may have ended with a violent plot being thwarted.

The man inside the truck was found to have a gun, ammo, and a notebook with alleged “premeditated assault plans.”

Although the threat was against the University of Delaware police department, the plot was discovered by New Castle County police officers, largely by coincidence as they conducted routine patrols in Wilmington.

“And they just randomly drove up in the Canby Park West, and when they located the vehicle in the park, once they made contact with the individual, rather than just shooing the person out, saying, ‘hey, the park is closed,’ they did police work,” Master Corporal Richard Chambers said.

Luqmaan Khan, 25, was arrested in that Wilmington park just after midnight last Monday, November 24 after refusing to comply with officers’ requests.
