Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national, drove his car for 42 hours from coast to coast across the United States with the intention of carrying out an attack. He traveled the nearly 2,700 miles between Bellingham, the city where he lived with his wife and five children, north of Seattle, and Washington, D.C., carrying a .357 caliber Smith & Wesson revolver with six rounds in the chamber.

Demaria Adger, 30, has racked up 13 felony convictions in Contra Costa, Alameda and Los Angeles counties since 2013, according to the charging documents. This month, he was charged with assault with a firearm, second-degree robbery and gun possession, all stemming from a July 16 robbery where his alleged cohort shot the victim while attempting to rob the man after he visited an ATM in Hayward, authorities said.
