A potential attack on a UFC event at the White House was reportedly averted due to a mother's concern about her son's behavior. Tycen Proper, a 19-year-old from Ohio, was charged in connection with the alleged plot after his mother contacted authorities regarding his growing interest in firearms and tactical gear. The FBI became involved after local law enforcement was alerted on June 10, following reports of Proper's online communications and plans to meet with individuals he had connected with online. Investigators discovered discussions about using explosive-laden drones and sniper positions during the planned attack on June 14. Proper's family voluntarily surrendered firearms and tactical equipment to law enforcement. Retired FBI officials emphasized the importance of family members recognizing concerning behavior and reporting it to authorities.
