Feds testify ex-Texas State student could have been next mass shooter or bomber but San Antonio judge orders him sent home
A former Texas State University student now behind bars could be home as early as next week after a federal judge in San Antonio ordered him released to his parents over the vigorous objections of FBI agents who testified he could be the countrys next mass shooter or bomber.
Benjamin Bogard of New Braunfels created disturbing videos in which he embraced white supremacy, said he wanted to kill minorities and discussed obtaining a chemical substance to make a bomb, according to testimony before U.S. Magistrate Judge Henry Bemporad on Thursday.
FBI agents contend Bogard could have engaged in mass violence had they not stepped in and arrested him earlier this month on a child pornography charge over images that were found on his cell phone.
