Valley teen arrested, accused of plotting attack at Phoenix Pride Festival

A 17-year-old male has been arrested on charges of terrorism over alleged plans to attack the Phoenix Pride Festival last weekend.

The FBI, Buckeye and Glendale police departments arrested 17-year-old Marvin Jalo following an investigation.

During an investigation, detectives found that between November 1, 2023, and May 31, 2024, Jalo chatted online about supplies necessary to make an improvised explosive device and then had those supplies shipped to him.

He also talked about his intent to make TATP (triacetone triperoxide), an unstable explosive that could propel shrapnel and other dangerous items outward, causing serious injury or death to people in the area, MCAO announced.

I was there. That's the second big event in Phoenix I've been at where there was a potential tragedy - I was at Comicon a few years ago when a gunmen showed up to assassinate the Green Power Ranger and shoot up the place.
