Arizona man indicted for planning mass shooting at Atlanta concert to ‘incite a race war’
PHOENIX (AZFamily) — A federal grand jury indicted a man from Prescott on Tuesday for selling guns for use in a planned mass shooting at a crowded concert in Atlanta.
Mark Adams Prieto, 58, is facing several charges relating to planning an attack at a Bad Bunny concert at State Farm Arena in May. He planned to target African American and other minority concert-goers in order to incite a race war before the 2024 US Presidential Election, an FBI Phoenix Field Office spokesperson said.
The indictment against Prieto alleges that he discussed the plan with two undercover FBI agents between January and May this year. He did not know the agents were undercover and instead thought they shared his extreme beliefs and wish for a race war.
His plan targeted performances by Bad Bunny on May 14 and 15 at State Farm Arena, Atlanta’s multi-purpose arena with a concert capacity of nearly 16,000.
After further discussion with the undercover agents, the indictment alleges Prieto sold two rifles to one of them: an AK-style rifle on Feb. 25 and an AR-style rifle on March 24. The FBI was monitoring Prieto’s movements throughout its investigation.
Prieto was stopped by officers on May 14 while driving east on I-40 from Arizona through New Mexico. He had seven guns in his possession and was taken into federal custody. In a search of his Prescott residence, officers found additional weapons, including an unregistered short-barreled rifle.
His indictment includes charges of firearms trafficking, transfer of a firearm for use in a hate crime and possession of an unregistered firearm.
If convicted on the charges of firearms trafficking and transfer of a firearm for use in a hate crime, Prieto faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison, a fine of $250,000 or both. If convicted of possession of an unregistered firearm, Prieto faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, a fine of $250,000 or both.
The FBI Phoenix Field Office is investigating the case, along with assistance from several local and national agencies. The case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona with assistance from the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division and National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section.

Person accused of making terroristic threats to medical facility in northern Arizona
PAGE, AZ (AZFamily) — A person accused of making terroristic threats toward a northern Arizona medical facility was arrested Friday morning.
Just after 10:30 p.m., police received a report of a person calling the facility and threatening to kill staff and Native Americans, according to the Page Police Department.
Authorities said staff placed the facility on lockdown until officers identified the suspect and arrested them outside their home.
The suspect was booked on charges of disorderly conduct, threatening and intimidating, and making terroristic threats. Police have not publicly identified the person.
“The Page Police Department is grateful for and supports the medical staff’s decision to put the medical facility into lockdown until the suspect was arrested and the situation was rendered safe,” the department said in a Facebook post.

NFL mock draft: 4-round projections for Arizona Cardinals
In these four-round projections, the Arizona Cardinals don’t get a tackle until the fourth round.
We are just days away from the 2026 NFL draft, and that means some final mock drafts. What direction will the draft take the Arizona Cardinals?
Draft Wire’s Curt Popejoy put together a four-round mock draft for the Cardinals. They go defense early but rebuild the offense for 2026 and moving forward, including landing their potential franchise quarterback.
Cardinals 4-round mock draft
Here are the players in the first four rounds Popejoy projects for Arizona.
- Round 1: Ohio State EDGE/LB Arvell Reese
- Round 2: Alabama QB Ty Simpson
- Round 3: Clemson WR Antonio Williams
- Round 4: Florida OT Austin Barber
What we think of the picks
The Cardinals want to trade out of the third pick and draft a tackle, so not getting a tackle until Round 4 seems unlikely, although they did meet with Barber. They do have options at right tackle for 2026 already on the roster.
Reese would be a great pick if they don’t trade back, as they badly need pass-rushing help off the edge.
Drafting Simpson seems inevitable at this point, so it has to be in a mock draft, although the feeling is they will need to go up into Round 1 again to get him.
Williams has speed and is almost six feet tall, but he does have short arms.

Detroit Lions NFL Draft Injury Report: Arizona State CB Keith Abney
Due to significant injuries to the CB position last year which includes a shoulder surgery for Terrion Arnold, the Lions CB position scored a 6/10 need on my Lions Defensive Draft Need Rankings. Thus, an early-round selection of a young, healthy prospect like Keith Abney would not come as a surprise. He enters the draft with very low medical concern level.
Here is the excerpt from my medical report on Keith Abney:
(Ages in parentheses are at start of 2026 season and are factored into the concern level. Injury info and ages based on available public information are unverified and subject to update. Games played data courtesy of sports-reference.com.)
Keith Abney, CB (21) – Arizona State
Projected round 2-3. #43 on Jeff Risdon board Feb 19.
Concern level 0/10
There is an isolated report of a hand injury but no corroborating information. Even if the hand injury is true, that’s of minimal to no long-term concern.
His availability in his final two seasons has been perfect. Overall, Abney appears to be medically clean and is at an excellent age.
He finished college with 6 INT and 21 PBU.
