Julie told officers that Allison had allegedly made threats, including references to “suicide by cop,” and claimed Allison had stolen her vehicle. She also alleged that Howlett would often put on body armor, pick up a rifle, and ask to be taken to a homeless shelter, suggesting an intent to shoot homeless people.
Henderson Police Chief Reggie Rader said officers discovered “at least 22 firearms” in the vehicle Allison was driving, including “a handgun in the driver’s seat and a rifle in the backseat.”
FOX 5 Vegan also reported that police recovered “hundreds of rounds of ammunition from the vehicle.”
