A Wilmington, Delaware, man has been arrested after police claim he was found with a firearm, over 100 rounds of ammunition, an armored ballistic plate and a notebook with outlines for a potential attack on law enforcement officers at the University of Delaware.
According to police, 25-year-old Luqmaan Khan was arrested during a traffic stop last week and was charged with possessing a machine gun and related offenses.
Officials said police initiated the traffic stop as Khan was operating a white Toyota Tacoma in Canby Park West after hours.
During the stop, officers ordered Khan out of the vehicle but he refused, police said, and subsequently resisted arrest before he was eventually taken into custody.
In an investigation into the vehicle, police said, officers discovered a loaded .357 Glock handgun with 27 rounds of ammunition, along with three additional fully loaded 27-round magazines. Police also found ammunition for a 9mm handgun along with an armored ballistic plate in the vehicle, officials said.
Police said the officers also discovered a notebook in the vehicle that included handwritten details of additional weapons and ammunition, and notes on how they could be used in an attack.
Police also claim this notebook included information on how someone could hide from law enforcement following such an attack.
More specifically, police said, the notebook found in Khan’s vehicle allegedly referenced a member of the University of Delaware Police Department by name and included a layout of a building with entry and exit points marked.
The map was labeled “UD Police Station,” officials claim.
On Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2025, police said that investigators executed a search warrant at Khan’s home in Wilmington, where they allegedly recovered a Glock 9mm handgun that was equipped with an illegal machine gun conversion device and hollow-point ammunition along with a .556 rifle with a scope and red dot laser sight.
In the home, officials said, investigators also recovered more ammunition and a two-plate tactical ballistic vest along with one ballistic plate.
On Tuesday, law enforcement officials posted on social media an image of some of the weapons and ammunition that, according to the police, were recovered from Khan’s home.
