A person has been taken into custody after allegedly planning a mass shooting at a large festival in Louisiana, the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office says.

"The OCSO was contacted by federal authorities in reference to a male from North Carolina being in our jurisdiction while reportedly heading to do a mass shooting at a large festival in Louisiana. Our Bravo East Deputies located the male at a Destin hotel and he was taken into custody tonight without incident as a fugitive from justice. He will be extradited to Louisiana for his charges from state police there. Excellent work by all," the sheriff's office said in a statement.
