A possible mass shooting was thwarted in Texas after a concerned father called police on his son.
Fort Worth officers were able to intercept a 27-year-old man with mental health issues who was searching for a gun.
Fort Worth Police Department public information officer Buddy Calzada told ABC News that the man, whose name is not being publicly released, was known to police. Police reported that the man was turned down when he tried to buy guns at"several" local stores as a result of background checks. "He made multiple statements to officers indicating he was going to harm many people and kill as many as he could," Caldaza said.
