A man with explosives and guns was arrested on his way to a Los Angeles Pride Parade on Sunday---just hours after the worst mass shooting in U.S. history was carried out.
There appears to be no connection to the Orlando, Florida, mass shooting at a gay nightclub, said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti in West Hollywood, ahead of the Pride Parade.
The Los Angeles Times said officials in Santa Monica found possible explosives as well as several weapons and ammunition in a man’s vehicle who told them he was waiting for a friend at the Pride festival. Federal and local law enforcement decided against canceling the parade, but they increased security measures.
