A 19-year-old Ohio man accused of helping plan a mass-casualty attack at a UFC event on the White House grounds discussed targeting members of Congress; stockpiled weapons, ammunition, and body armor; and admitted to participating in the plot, according to a federal criminal complaint.

Tycen Proper admitted during a June 11 interview with investigators that he had been communicating with a group of individuals online who claimed to be Christian and former military. Proper was planning to travel to Virginia to meet them before the event, according to the complaint.
