TSA agents found two loaded guns in carry-on bags at MSP Airport
TSA agents found two loaded guns in carry-on bags at MSP Airport originally appeared on Bring Me The News. Two loaded guns were found in carry-on bags by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport this week. The separate discoveries were made on Tuesday when passengers presented their bags for screening, prompting MSP Airport police to be alerted and confiscate the weapons. The TSA says it has stopped 22 guns at MSP checkpoints so far in 2025. In the whole of 2024, it stopped 52. "With our summer travel season underway, we strongly encourage passengers to pack smart and start with an empty bag," said Marty Robinson, TSA's Federal Security Director for Minnesota. "Bringing a firearm to the checkpoint is a careless, expensive mistake that increases risks to passengers and airport employees. Individuals who own firearms should familiarize themselves with regulations regarding where their weapons can and cannot be carried." Any passenger who brings a gun through security faces a fine and a five-year ban from TSA PreCheck eligibility. Guns can be brought on planes when they are placed in checked baggage and are left unloaded in a locked hardback case and packed separately from ammunition. Guns must be declared at the check-in counter. This story was originally reported by Bring Me The News on Jun 5, 2025, where it first appeared.

Charges: Roseville man set house on fire, trapping parents in basement
Charges: Roseville man set house on fire, trapping parents in basement originally appeared on Bring Me The News. A Roseville man has been charged with the attempted murder of his parents, whom he allegedly trapped in a basement as he set the family home on fire. Andrew Alvarez, 29, is charged with two counts of 2nd-degree attempted murder and one count of 1st-degree arson following the fire on the 2700 block of Matilda Street in Roseville at 11:15 p.m. Monday. Alvarez's parents called 911, saying they were both in the basement when they heard a "whoosh." When Alvarez's father went to the top of the stairs, he found a fire that prevented him from leaving the basement and escaping the house. The mother threw a bucket of water on the fire that allowed them to get out of the basement, but then they found another fire in the kitchen, and the main floor of the home was filled with fire. They both retreated to the basement, with officers then arriving to find smoke coming from the roof and the kitchen on fire. An officer was able to enter the house through an open sliding glass door, extinguished the fire and then left the home so firefighters could conduct a search. Firefighters found two more fires had been started in the home, both in bedrooms. The far-right burner on the gas stove had been turned all the way on, and there was also evidence of lighter fluid in the home. Alvarez's parents were helped to safety through a basement egress window, along with a dog. Two cats were also rescued by firefighters. The mother told police that her son may still being inside the home, telling police that he is a heavy drug user who likes to hide in closets, according to the complaint. But Alvarez was not found in the home. He was later apprehended at a Speedway gas station nearby. Police found backpack near the home that contained Alvarez's wet clothing, ID, and methamphetamine, while a grill lighter was found on the deck. His mother told police that Alvarez donates plasma to buy meth, the complaint alleges. When arrested, Alvarez initially denied trying to kill his parents, but "shrugged in agreement" when asked if he set fires inside the home before leaving.

Charges: Woman assaults flight attendant on Delta plane at MSP after being told to put bag away
Charges: Woman assaults flight attendant on Delta plane at MSP after being told to put bag away originally appeared on Bring Me The News. A California woman is facing charges in Minnesota after a disturbance on a Delta flight from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport over the weekend. Priya Swaminathan, a 45-year-old attorney from San Jose, is charged with obstruction of the legal process – a gross misdemeanor, 5th-degree assault, disorderly conduct and interference with flight operations due to an incident on board Delta flight DL2089 from MSP to San Francisco on Sunday evening. According to the charges, police were called to Gate C14 at Terminal 1 on a report that a passenger was "causing a disturbance, yelling at passengers, and had allegedly assaulted a Delta crew member." A Delta flight attendant says that the passenger, allegedly identified as Swaminathan, had been asked to put her bags in the overhead compartment but refused to do so. When it was time to close the plane's doors, Swaminathan was informed there was no more room for her bags and she would need to "plane-side check them." At this point, the passenger allegedly "became angry and starting yelling while pacing up and down the aisle and screaming at other passengers." She then allegedly "charged" at one of the flight attendants "and pushed her with both hands in the chest." The criminal complaint says Swaminathan then refused to disembark the plane, and when officers arrived they found her "standing in the aisle and leaning up against a seat back between rows 1 and 2." Two officers grabbed Swaminathan's arms, with the complaint saying she refused to put her hands behind her back. She was then taken off the aircraft and moved "up against the jet bridge wall in an attempt to control her." Police claimed that Swaminathan had a "strong odor of a consumed alcoholic beverage," and allegedly had bloodshot and watery eyes. As they escorted her down the jet bridge stairs, she allegedly refused to walk, and when lifted, she "began to flail her body and kicked herself free from [the officer's] grasp." The complaint says she also knocked off an officer's bodycam, and tried to unbuckle her seat belt when placed in a squad vehicle. In the end, takeoff for Delta flight DL2089 was delayed by 20 minutes. Bring Me The News has reached out to Swaminathan for comment.
