Homeland Security employee caught with gun, knife at agency headquarters, officials say

Federal prosecutors are investigating whether a Department of Homeland Security employee with top-secret clearance was planning an attack at the agency’s Washington headquarters when he entered the building with a gun, a knife, an infrared camera, pepper spray and handcuffs.

Jonathan Wienke, and analyst in the Office of Intelligence and Analysis, allegedly carried the weapons into the building on the morning of June 9. Court documents filed by the federal government state that investigators have probable cause to believe Wienke “was conspiring with another to commit workplace violence, and more particularly may have been conspiring or planning to commit violence against senior DHS officials in the building.”  more

  1. Sounds like a white dude. Probably trying to connect him to Trump or the Tea Party, but I imagine we’d have beard all about it by now if they’d been successful. Something is definitely messing with their narrative here.

  2. “Give him his job, gun, and access pass back. ”

    I can’t agree with that.

    It would have to be a bigger gun (rifle? might need barrier penetration) + enough magazines to complete the job.
