Delaware Arrests Pakistani-Born Student in Police Attack Plot
3rd December 2025
A University of Delaware student has been arrested after police uncovered what they say was a detailed plan to carry out an armed attack on the campus police department.
Luqmaan Khan, 25, was taken into custody after officers found weapons, tactical gear, and a notebook outlining assault plans during a late-night traffic stop. Police approached Khan at around 11:47 p.m. as he sat in a white Toyota Tacoma. He initially refused to leave the vehicle and resisted officers, who then searched the car.
Inside, officers seized a .357 Glock handgun loaded with 27 rounds, three additional 27-round magazines, a loaded Glock 9mm magazine, an armored ballistic plate, and a notebook containing diagrams of the University of Delaware Police Department building. The notebook referenced an officer by name and marked entry and exit points.
