Washington: Weapons cache and armor discovered in residence, two arrested

On June 2, 2025, two men were arrested in Washington state with an arsenal that included dozens of guns, explosives and body armor, along with Nazi paraphernalia per investigators. The suspects were reportedly former military members who allegedly attacked a soldier with a hammer while stealing gear from Joint Base Lewis-McChord last weekend. The FBI executed a search warrant at a home shared by the defendants on Monday and arrested them. Authorities said agents seized about 35 firearms at the home, including short-barreled rifles and an MG42 machine gun.
