AN armed man has been arrested near Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home in Maryland.
The man was carrying at least one weapon and allegedly told police he wanted to kill the Justice, sources told The Washington Post.
Police have described the man as in his mid-20s. He was also reportedly carrying burglary tools.
According to The Post’s sources, he was apparently upset about the leaked draft of a Supreme Court opinion that signals that the court is preparing to overturn Roe V Wade, which guarantees a person’s right to an abortion.
The man was also reportedly upset about recent mass shootings in the country.
It’s not clear who alerted authorities to the potential threat, The Post reported.
The suspect did not make it to Kavanaugh’s home and was arrested on a nearby street.
