These events have become all too frequent in our world and many of us are bearing the scars and pain. Michigan is no stranger to the horror and trauma that comes during and after a mass shooting. Law enforcement at the federal, state, and local levels are doing all they can to not just stop these events but prevent them from happening in the first place.

Michigan State Police and FBI officials were able to arrest and arraign a Michigan man from the Owosso community who was planning to commit a mass shooting. Mack Adam Davis had plans to go forward with an attack on the Shiawassee County Democratic Party Headquarters and the Rainbow Bar, both located on M-21 (Main Street) in Owosso.

The 22-year-old's plans were made because he associated both locations with people who are gay. He admitted to making these plans in a superseding indictment as he was already arraigned in federal court for charges of possession of an unregistered firearm, manufacture of a firearm in violation of the national firearms act, and possession of a firearm made in violation of the national firearms act.

Davis pleaded guilty to a hate crime for his plans and is awaiting sentencing which is set for April 15th, 2025. According to his plea agreement, Davis faces up to 14 years in prison and five years of supervised release, court records indicate. The charge carries a maximum fine of $250,000, but no agreement on a fine is recorded in the plea.
