Man found in van with guns and explosives

Investigators are trying to determine why a man had several guns and explosive devices in a van he parked in a White Settlement neighborhood. Police say there were "intentions to cause harm."

A man confronted by police in White Settlement planned to attack a local church, according to a criminal complaint obtained by FOX 4.

Last week, a neighbor reported a suspicious white van in his White Settlement neighborhood.

Officers arrived and found an armed man having some sort of mental episode. They got him out, took him into custody and to a hospital for evaluation.

Inside the van, investigators found improvised explosive devices as well as guns and body armor.

An incident report from responding firefighters from the Fort Worth Fire Department shows the suspect stated he wanted to attack a church.

It's unclear which church was targeted. The man had family in the area.

His name has not been released because he remains in a hospital and charges have not yet been filed.
