An Arizona man has been arrested on terrorism charges following a series of shootings at a Democratic Party campaign office in Tempe, incidents that have raised alarms during a contentious election season. Authorities arrested 60-year-old Jeffrey Michael Kelly, noting that, due to the sheer size of the weapons cache found, they believed he was "preparing to commit an act of mass casualty."

Although no one was injured in the shootings, which occurred between midnight and 1 a.m. on three separate occasions beginning September 16, the incidents have unsettled campaign workers. The Arizona Democratic Party shut down the office after the third incident on October 6.
