THE GUARDIAN on Dawson Maloney

From Roque Planas' 2-20-26 GUARDIAN article entitled "FBI and Las Vegas Police Investigate Suspected Case of Terrorism":

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 on Friday, describing the incident as a suspected act of terrorism.

The suspect, Dawson Noah Maloney, died of the self-inflicted shotgun wound, the Las Vegas sheriff, Kevin McMahill, said at a press conference on Friday. He was wearing soft body armor when police discovered him.

“There is no ongoing threat at this time,” he added.

Police initially heard about the incident in Boulder City when it was reported as a suicide.

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 cellphone.

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.

“Given the location and the materials discovered, this incident was treated as a terrorism-related event,” McMahill said.
