It is unclear if a connection exists between the Orlando shooter and the man arrested by Santa Monica police.
Santa Monica police arrested a man who had explosives, assault rifles and ammunition and was planning to attend L.A. pride, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said Sunday morning during a press conference.
Police were called about the man who was in the area of Olympic Boulevard and 11th Street by a concerned citizen, Garcetti said. He told police he was waiting in the area for a friend.
The suspect was arrested Saturday night, Garcetti said.
Photos from the scene posted to social media by a reporter shows items from the suspect's car placed on the ground by police.
Police, suspicions of the man, checked his car and that is when they found the weapons and explosives, Garcetti said.
The suspect told police he was in town for the pride event in West Hollywood this weekend.

Ramadan: Month of Jihad
As Muslims struggle to increase their devotion to Allah, expect more mass murder.

Another Ramadan is upon us, and no less an authority on Islam than Barack Hussein Obama has assured us that “for many, this month is an opportunity to focus on reflection and spiritual growth, forgiveness, patience and resilience, compassion for those less fortunate, and unity across communities.” Meanwhile, a Muslim whom Obama would disparage as a “violent extremist” who has hijacked the religion of peace, Islamic State spokesman Abu Mohammad al-Adnani, called on Muslims to use this Ramadan to “get prepared, be ready … to make it a month of calamity everywhere for nonbelievers…especially for the fighters and supporters of the caliphate in Europe and America.”
Obama is, true to form, severely misleading the American people when he focuses exclusively upon Ramadan’s exhortation to charity (the part of the Qur’an verse about being “merciful” to one’s fellow Muslims) without mentioning its imperative to terrorize infidels (the other part, about being “severe” toward the unbelievers). But as we have seen already in Jordan, all too many Muslims around the world are fully aware of that part of the Ramadan observance, and are ready to carry it out.
It is folly to pretend that the aspect of Ramadan that makes it a more dangerous time for non-Muslims doesn’t exist: dangerous, suicidal folly. But the fact that no one in the public square even thinks to question Obama’s Ramadan congratulations, which roll around every year in the same form, shows how widespread that folly is. Obama’s Ramadan message for this year concluded: “I can think of no better way to mark my Administration’s last celebration of Ramadan as President than to honor the contributions of Muslims in America and across the world for Eid. Ramadan Kareem.”
Hope he was not planning to assemble the bomb in the third bathroom. Considering it is a gay pride parade there is no guarantee that he would make it to the front of the line before the parade was over.
That someone called it in meant it was likely not an Arabic looking individual as they would have been too afraid to be called a racist for calling it in.
