The alleged 26 Federal Plaza attacker has been identified as Andrew Arrabaca, according to law enforcement sources cited by Fox News.
The sources told FOX that Arrabaca allegedly had “anti-ICE stuff on him.”
Breitbart News reported the attack, noting that ABC 7 New York observed that “a man armed with a collection of weapons started a fire” outside the building with “some kind of flammable liquid.”
The Department of Homeland Security noted that a bag was recovered at the scene and it allegedly “contained what appeared to be two pellet guns and a manifesto.”
NBC4 pointed out that “four sources” indicated Arrabaca is 43 years of age and cited “a U.S. official” indicating that “Arrabaca had previously served in the Army and National Guard.”
