Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud, an 18-year-old man from Minnesota, was arrested on October 7, 2026, after allegedly planning to carry out a mass shooting at the Mall of America in Bloomington. According to federal court documents, Mohamud had been under FBI investigation for nearly two years and had pledged allegiance to ISIS. He discussed his intent to kill non-Muslims and was arrested when he purchased an AK-47 rifle and 200 rounds of ammunition from an undercover agent posing as a member of ISIS. The purchase took place on October 6, 2026, in Richfield after Mohamud paid $600 for the weapon and ammunition. US Attorney Daniel Rosen praised the FBI's intervention, stating that they were able to detect and disrupt the planned attack before it could be carried out.
