Alleged attack planned for Mall of America; M State Detroit Lakes campus closing

Federal officials say they stopped a man from carrying out an alleged terrorist attack at Mall of America. FBI agents arrested 18-year-old Sheckdoon Abdullahi Mohamud in a public park yesterday in Richfield after he purchased a rifle from an undercover FBI agent there, according to the charging documents.

And Minnesota State Community and Technical College says it’s moving forward with plans to close its campus in Detroit Lakes. M State President Carrie Brimhall says the closure would happen no sooner than June of 2028.
