A possible mass shooting plot at a Michigan graduation ceremony was thwarted, authorities said, and police are searching for one of the suspects who remains at large.

The apparent plot was revealed after authorities responded to a fight that broke out during the Arts and Technology Academy of Pontiac graduation, which was held Tuesday at a business in Pontiac, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said.

"A person approached our deputies and gave them information that a family member had told them that they had seen on Snapchat a threat to shoot up this graduation ceremony," Bouchard said at a news conference Friday. Authorities kept investigating and recovered two loaded guns with high-capacity magazines from under cars in the parking lot, the sheriff said.

Law enforcement "probably prevented a mass shooting," the sheriff said.

One suspect, 19-year-old Deahveon Shamar-James Whaley, has been arrested, Bouchard said. Authorities are searching for a second suspect, 20-year-old Jamarion Jaryante Hardiman, the sheriff said.

Only two types of story:
Police have no suspects
or
Police made no arrests.

Maybe the citizens can hunt them down and hold them.

From the names (I know I’m stereotyping) it sounds like two more Finnish immigrants. 👨‍🦰 👨‍🦰

They were doomed being born to a mother who gave them such ridiculous made up ghetto names.

Subject to years of ridicule for their names by normal people. I know some people with ridiculous spellings of their name, that causes snickers and chuckles.

Deahveon normally would be named Dave.
Jamarion normally would be named James.
But they just have to be different, thinking they could be similar to African sounding names. But Africans are laughing. You want to be unique, then name them Sue. Or Daylight and Jamjelly.

Unfortunately, the individuals attached to those names are anything but unique -- there's thousands of 'em around every city.

How come these parents don’t give them an authentic African name like Barack?

I didn't know the origins are Hebrew. From Wikipedia about Barak Obama:

First real given name is “Barak”, also spelled Baraq (Not to be confused with Barack which is is a building or group of buildings that lodge soldiers), from the root B-R-Q, is a Hebrew name meaning “lightning” or “to shine”.
