Police in Richmond, Virginia, acting on a call from an unidentified tipster, have arrested two noncitizens who were allegedly plotting a mass shooting on July 4, officials announced on July 6.

Julio Alvarado-Dubon, 52, and Rolman Balacarcel, 38, were arrested after a “hero citizen” overheard a discussion about carrying out a shooting at an Independence Day celebration in Richmond, the city’s police chief said.
