Las Vegas Substation Terror Probe After Fatal Car Attack and Suicide

A 23-year-old man from New York drove to a Las Vegas suburb, crashed a rented Nissan into a power-substation gate, and fatally shot himself; police treat the episode as terrorism-related after finding firearms, flame-throwers, and an array of explosives materials (thermite, ammonium nitrate) plus extremist literature in his hotel room. The FBI and LVPD say there is no ongoing threat, but it’s considered a credible counter-terrorism event, with Albany-area searches uncovering gun parts and a 3D printer.

Albany Law Student’s Nevada Substation Terror Plot Ends in Suicide

An Albany law student, 23-year-old Dawson Maloney, traveled about 2,500 miles to Nevada and rammed a rental car toward a Las Vegas-area power substation, injuring no one but dying from a self-inflicted gunshot. Investigators treat the incident as terrorism; Maloney was found with firearms, flame throwers, a hatchet, and armor in the car, and explosives-making materials plus extremist literature in a hotel room. The substation sustained no major damage, and motive remains unclear beyond prior threats and a note to his mother referring to himself as a “dead terrorist son.”

Noem and Trump Criticize Antifa as Domestic and International Threats

Kristi Noem compared antifa to terrorist organizations like MS-13, Hamas, Hezbollah, and ISIS during a White House roundtable, claiming it is equally dangerous, despite experts describing antifa as a decentralized protest movement without formal ties to terrorism. The event featured right-wing media figures and followed President Trump's designation of antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, with assertions of violence attributed to antifa without concrete evidence.
