GEORGE, Wash. — The Grant County Sheriff’s Office stopped an armed man they believe was planning a mass shooting at the Gorge Amphitheater.
They stopped 30-year-old Jonathan R. moody of Ephrata Friday night after witnesses reported him acting suspiciously.
Witnesses saw Moody inhale an unknown substance or gas from a balloon, then load two pistols in the trunk of his car. The man was armed when he started asking people at the venue when the concert would end and where people would be exiting from.
Moody did not make it inside the amphitheater. Security detained him outside the gates and disarmed him.
He was later arrested on suspicion of possession of a dangerous weapon and unlawful carrying or handling of a weapon. He did not make any statements when questioned by police.
Nearly 25,000 people were at the Gorge for Bass Canyon, an electronic dance music festival.
No one was injured and police are ramping up security for Saturday’s concerts.
