| [FoxNews] A Long Island man was arrested and charged after allegedly attacking three people at a Dick’s Sporting Goods with a machete while trying to buy rifles. "So many things could have gone wrong here," Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison said following the Friday attack, Newsday reported. "If he was able to buy a rifle, who knows what he was planning to do with it. There was a man running around with a machete attacking people unprovoked. This could've been a lot worse." Police say West Babylon resident Treyvius Tunstall, 22, visited a Dick's Sporting Goods store in Bay Shore on Friday afternoon and bought a machete, a knife and a backpack. He inquired about buying guns at the store but was told he needed to go the chain’s Patchogue location to buy rifles. Tunstall reached the Patchogue store at about 3:15 p.m. Friday, according to police. A store employee inquired about a background check for the man to purchase the firearms, which led to Tunstall walking away and allegedly attacking a store employee and two customers with a machete, according to police. |
