One week after Colorado's movie theater shooting, Maryland cops have foiled what they believe could have been another massacre.

Law enforcement sources tell ABC News that a man from Crofton, Md., is under arrest for allegedly making threats against an employer and co-workers.

The suspect had more than 20 firearms at his residence, including semi-automatic rifles, shotguns and handguns, law enforcement sources said. Sources also said he had more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition.

The man was reportedly facing termination from his job in Prince George's County, according to ABC News' Maryland affiliate WJLA.

The Prince George Police Department declined to comment, but said they will be sharing more information at a 1 p.m. news conference.

On July 20, shooting suspect James Holmes allegedly opened fire in an Aurora, Colo., movie theater during a midnight showing of the new Batman movie, "The Dark Knight Rises." Twelve people were killed and 58 were wounded.

That's great news.  I'm glad he got caught before anyone got hurt.

    I read the article yesterday - the guy told cops he was going to shoot a former employer, nothing more.  Although we could speculate til we're blue in the face whether the former employer deserved such a seemingly harsh judgement (if more evidence were available) the fact of the matter is a spat betwixt two men isn't indicative of an imminent Massacre! thwarted by whichever KeystoneKops happened to be handy. 

     Other than that little stain on his reputation it's good to see he was exercising his Right to bear arms...

So much for the original Planned Massacre!! headline to scare the sheeple into giving up their (and everyone else's) inherent right to bear arms: Maryland man who called himself 'joker' charged <-link

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (AP) — A Maryland man accused of referring to himself as ‘‘a joker’’ and threatening to shoot up his workplace, raising alarms after Colorado’s mass shooting a week earlier, is facing charges of misdemeanor telephone misuse, prosecutors said Wednesday.

The hype and propaganda passing for "news" these days is astounding, the government goodsquads and their patsies in the media are getting more and more paranoid...or desperate.
