The Justice Department has revealed that a University of Delaware student is facing accusations of planning an assault on the university’s police department, with detailed outlines discovered in his possession. The student, identified as Luqmaan Khan, 25, was taken into custody after a traffic stop in New Castle County led to the discovery of significant evidence.

Authorities reportedly found a .357 caliber Glock pistol loaded with 27 rounds during the stop, alongside three additional magazines of 27 rounds each, a ballistic vest plate, and a couple of notebooks. According to the Justice Department, these notebooks contained intricate details about the planned attack.

“The notebook contained handwritten notes discussing various firearms and weaponry, potential strategies for their use in an attack, and methods to evade law enforcement detection post-incident,” stated the DOJ. “It even referenced a specific member of the University of Delaware’s Police Department by name and included a building diagram with marked entry and exit points labeled as the ‘UD Police Station.’”

In Khan’s vehicle, authorities uncovered multiple firearms and a notebook detailing his alleged intentions to target the campus police. The notebook also reportedly included tactical assault strategies and a schematic of the university police department, according to federal prosecutors.

In addition, the notebook contained warfare techniques, assault plans and a diagram of the university police department, federal prosecutors said. 

Other court documents detail a layout of a university building.

During an FBI search of Khan’s home in Wilmington, authorities found a Glock 19 9mm handgun equipped with an illegal machinegun conversion device, commonly called a “switch.” 

Also recovered was a .556 rifle with a scope and a red dot sight, 11 more extended magazines, hollow-point rounds of ammunition, and a two-plate tactical vest equipped with a single ballistic plate, the Justice Department said.

Khan was federally charged with illegally possessing a machinegun, an offense that carries a maximum penalty of 10 years’ imprisonment.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the university, but in a letter to the campus community, interim President Laura Carlson said Khan was an undergraduate student.

“The University has temporarily separated the student from the University, including a ban from all UD campuses while legal matters are being resolved. We have been working closely with law enforcement throughout this matter and are sharing this information with you now that we have been cleared to do so,” she said.

“There are no known or immediate threats to the University of Delaware community,” Carlson added. 

She noted that authorities released “evidence of a plan that targeted the University of Delaware Police Department.”

“This is frightening to all of us,” Carlson said.

“This case is a quintessential example of federal and state law enforcement collaborating to neutralize a grave threat to Delaware before the worst could come to pass,” said acting U.S. Attorney Julianne E. Murray.
