Man found with explosive devices faces more charges

"Jose can you see?"

Niagara Falls, NY -- A western New York man, Jose M. Gandia, 47, was found to have nine explosive devices in his home and is now facing more charges, according to police.

Gandia is now charged with unlawful possession of a destructive device, and unlawful possession of a sawed-off shotgun, according to U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy Jr. He faces up to ten years in prison if found guilty, which seems to be a pretty sure thing based on the physical evidence.

The suspect also faces other charges, including assaulting a police officer and menacing.

Clearing Gandia's apartment

Authorities explained that it all began when state troopers responded to reports of a guy pointing a shotgun with a red laser out of a pickup truck on the New York State Thruway on Wednesday morning. A trooper located the pickup truck and attempted to handcuff Gandia when Gandia got out of his car and a scuffle ensued.

Gandia was finally handcuffed, arrested, and police reportedly found several weapons along with a pipe bomb in his truck. Authorities also recovered nine “possible” destructive devices from inside Gandia's home, law enforcement officials said.

Five of the devices were attached to two separate propane tanks. Two of the devices were near the residence's front entrance and two were near the rear — all of which were rigged to detonate.

This certainly sounds like domestic terrorism and it is unknown at this time whether or not Gandia is a member of Antifa. Maybe he is, or maybe he's not. Let's wait and see, that I can tell you.
