Authorities Seize Over 120 Guns, 250,000 Rounds of Ammo, Body Armor, and Grenade Launcher from 60-year-old Jeffrey Kelly
Tempe police have arrested a 60-year-old man, Jeffrey Michael Kelly, in connection with a series of disturbing incidents involving political signs and shootings.
Kelly is accused of hanging suspicious bags of white powder from political signs lined with razor blades in Ahwatukee.
Additionally, he is believed to be responsible for three separate shooting incidents targeting the Democratic National Committee (DNC) office in Tempe.
The investigation revealed that a silver-colored Toyota Highlander was captured on surveillance footage at the scene of the DNC shootings.
Evidence collected from Kelly’s home included .22-caliber casings, Google searches of the DNC office location, and searches for firearm conversions and accessories.
Kelly made his initial court appearance on Wednesday morning.
The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office expressed concerns about the increasing violence and potential future attacks.
During a search of Kelly’s home, ATF investigators discovered a significant arsenal, including more than 120 guns, over 250,000 rounds of ammunition, body armor, a grenade launcher, and other weapons-related items.
Evidence linking Kelly to the incidents, such as the vehicle seen on surveillance video and multiple license plates, was also found.
Kelly is scheduled to appear in court again on October 29th.

Graphic Video Shows Multiple Victims Down During Active Shooter Incident at Florida State University in Tallahassee
Florida State University (FSU) has canceled all classes and campus events for the day following reports of an active shooter at the university’s Student Union in Tallahassee.
Law enforcement agencies are on the scene responding to the situation, which has already resulted in multiple injuries.
According to university officials, at least four individuals have been transported to local hospitals with injuries sustained during the incident.
The extent of their injuries has not yet been officially confirmed.
Multiple people who were injured being loaded into ambulances outside the Student Union.
One man was shackled by law enforcement before being taken from the scene.
Disturbing video footage circulating on social media appears to show a victim with a gunshot wound lying outside a campus building.
Authorities have not verified the footage, but it has intensified concerns among students, families, and the broader community.
The initial emergency alert issued by FSU instructed individuals on campus to immediately seek shelter, avoid doors and windows, and prepare to take additional protective actions as necessary.
The alert specifically stated that a shooter had been reported in the vicinity of the Student Union and that police were either already on scene or en route.
In a message posted to the university’s emergency advisory website, officials stated:
“Individuals not already on the main campus at this time should avoid coming to the Tallahassee main campus.”
FSU Police and multiple responding law enforcement agencies are continuing to secure the area and investigate the situation.
Details about the suspect or potential motive have not yet been released.
The university has asked students, faculty, and staff to monitor official channels for updates and to refrain from spreading unverified information.
This remains an active and evolving situation. Additional updates will be provided as more information is confirmed by authorities.
