BREAKING: A University of Delaware student has been arrested with multiple firearms and detailed plans targeting the campus police department. Luqmaan Khan, 25, was taken into custody just before midnight on November 24, after police discovered alarming items in his vehicle during a routine check in Wilmington, Delaware.
Authorities report that while conducting a nighttime check at a local park, they noticed a white Toyota Tacoma parked illegally. Upon approaching the vehicle, police found Khan inside, refusing to exit and resisting arrest. Officers conducted a search of the Tacoma, uncovering a loaded handgun, extended magazines, body armor, a laptop, binoculars, and a troubling notebook.
The notebook reportedly contained notes on warfare techniques, assault plans, and a detailed diagram of the University of Delaware Police Department. It included the name of a department member and mapped out entry and exit points of the police building, raising grave concerns among local law enforcement.
Interim university president Laura Carlson confirmed Khan’s status as an undergraduate student, stating he has been banned from all University of Delaware campuses while the investigation unfolds. “The safety of our students and staff is our top priority,” Carlson emphasized in a statement.
Following the initial arrest, federal authorities were notified, leading to a search of Khan’s home. There, they allegedly discovered an additional handgun modified with an illegal “switch” capable of converting it into a machine gun. Khan now faces several felony weapons charges, including possession of a large capacity magazine and carrying a concealed deadly weapon.
This alarming incident underscores serious concerns about campus safety and the potential for violence. As the investigation continues, officials urge anyone with further information to come forward. Khan has been turned over to the FBI for additional criminal charges.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as authorities work to ensure the safety of the University of Delaware community.
