Federal prosecutors said in a court filing Friday that “only timely intervention by law enforcement” kept a Valley City man from finalizing and carrying out his plans to commit a mass shooting at a Columbia Station mosque “because he hates Muslims.”
The memorandum in support of pretrial detention filed by the government is the first time federal prosecutors have indicated how big of a threat they considered Wyatt Brzoska.
Prosecutors urged a judge to keep the 20-year-old in jail, warning, “Had he not been arrested, he could have committed an unspeakable atrocity.”
