<p>Law enforcement officials in Virginia arrested two illegal aliens who allegedly plotted a mass shooting on a July 4 celebration after a &#8220;hero citizen&#8221; overheard a conversation about the plot and immediately called the police.</p>
<p>&#8220;Two illegal immigrants, 52-year-old Julio Alvarado-Dubon and 38-year-old Rolman Balacarcel, were arrested and charged with being a non-U.S. citizens in possession of a gun after police uncovered a plot that the duo planned a mass shooting at Richmond&#8217;s July 4 celebration Monday,&#8221; Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/potential-richmond-july-4-mass-shooters-charged-noncitizens-possession-firearm-police-say">reported</a>. &#8220;[Richmond Chief of Police Gerald] Smith addressed reports that one of the suspects has been deported several times and continued to reenter the country illegally, saying that it was &#8220;frustrating&#8221; that a person could continue to break the law and have an opportunity to still plan out a mass murder.&#8221;</p>
<p>Smith said at a press conference on Wednesday that the shooting was prevented after a person who overheard a conversation about the plot immediately called police.</p>
<p>&#8220;A hero citizen picked up the phone and overheard a conversational there was a mass shooting being planned her in the city of Richmond, Virginia,&#8221; Smith said.</p>

<p>Law enforcement officials seized two rifles and hundreds of rounds of ammunition from a home in Richmond after police received the tip from the concerned citizen.</p>
<p>&#8220;We know what their intent was but we don&#8217;t have a motive,&#8221; Smith added.</p>
<p>The incident comes after a 22-year-old white male killed at least seven people at a July 4 celebration in Highland Park, Illinois, and wounded dozens more. The suspect was able to purchase the firearms used in the attack because his father co-signed his Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card, which gun owners must have in that state.</p>
<p>The revelation comes after local law enforcement officials revealed the suspect had already been on law enforcement’s radar due to a pair of incidents that happened back in 2019, including the suspect attempting suicide followed by an alleged threat to “kill everyone” several months later.</p>
<p>The Daily Wire is not naming the suspect due to company policy about not giving notoriety to mass killers because <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/why-daily-wire-will-no-longer-publish-names-or-ben-shapiro">studies</a> suggest that the media’s coverage of mass shootings sparks more mass shootings.</p>
<p>“At the time of the incident, [the suspect] did not have a FOID card to revoke, and did not have a pending FOID application to deny,” Fox 32 <a href="https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/highland-park-shooting-police-to-provide-update-after-7th-victim-dies-in-parade-shooting">reported</a>. “Then, in December 2019, at 19, [the suspect] applied for a FOID card and was sponsored by his father. At the time, [Illinois State Police] said there were insufficient bases to establish a clear and present danger and deny the application.”‘</p>
