"A 23-year-old man drove from New York to a Las Vegas suburb and crashed a rented Nissan Sentra through a gate and into a pile of heavy wire reels at a power substation before shooting himself in the head, local police said Friday, describing the incident as a suspected act of terrorism. The suspect, Dawson Noah Maloney, died of the self-inflicted shotgun wound, Las Vegas sheriff Kevin McMahill said at a press conference Friday. He was wearing soft body armor when police discovered him."
"Police discovered in the car two shotguns, an AR-style pistol, several magazines loaded with .223 ammunition, a box of shotgun shells, two flame-throwers, a crowbar, a hatchet and a cell phone. In Maloney's hotel room, police found material for making explosives, including thermite, ammonium nitrate, magnesium ribbon, metal pipes and gasoline. They also recovered several books related to extremist ideologies, including right- and leftwing extremism, environmental extremism, white supremacy and anti-government ideology, McMahill said."

The suspect, Dawson Noah Maloney, died of a self-inflicted shotgun wound and was found wearing soft body armor. The vehicle contained multiple firearms and incendiary devices. Investigators found explosive-making materials and gasoline in a hotel room and recovered books on various extremist ideologies. Authorities treated the location and materials as indicators of a terrorism-related event. The FBI searched residences that yielded gun parts and a 3D printer. Family communications included suicidal statements and a message referring to himself as a dead terrorist son.
