Ephrata man arrested for suspected attempt of mass shooting at Gorge Amphitheater

[Sewa]

GEORGE, Wash. - Grant County Sheriff’s deputies believe they stopped an Ephrata man who may have had plans to commit a mass shooting at the Gorge Amphitheater on Friday night.

Citizens and security notified deputies around 9 p.m. of a man in the parking lot. Witnesses’ suspicions were raised when they saw the man inhale an unknown substance or gas from a balloon and then load two 9mm pistols from the trunk of his car. The man concealed one pistol in the rear of his waistband and the other in an outside-the-waistband holster. The suspect, later identified as 30-year-old Jonathan R. Moody of Ephrata, approached concertgoers, asking what time the concert ended and where people would be exiting the venue.

I hope he never comes back to Pennsylvania.

No Ephrata would be proud.
