One of the Suspects Arrested on Weapons Charges Claims There Was No Plan to Attack MLB All-Star Fans
One of the suspects arrested in Denver following the discovery of more than a dozen guns in a hotel room over the weekend said there was no intention of harming anyone, despite concerns that a “Las Vegas-style shooting” could have occurred at the MLB All-Star Game this week.
Speaking to the local CBS affiliate, Ricardo Rodriguez, who was arrested on charges of possession of a weapon by a previous offender, said Richard Platt, who was holding the weapons in his room, did not intend on using them.
Rodriguez was arrested along with Platt, Gabriel Rodriguez and Kanoelehua Serikawa after 16 guns, over a thousand rounds of ammunition and body armor were discovered in a hotel room following a report from a maid at the hotel.
