A Texas grandmother was hailed as a hero by federal authorities after she foiled a potential mass shooting by taking her grandson to a hospital after he allegedly made threats.

William Patrick Williams, 19, was taken into custody by federal agents in Lubbock, Texas, after he told his grandmother about a plot to"shoot up" a local hotel and then commit suicide by cop, according to the Department of Justice.

Sensing he could be both homicidal and suicidal, federal officials said the grandmother convinced Williams to go with her to a local hospital instead of carrying out the shooting, averting a potential tragedy. "If you suspect a friend or loved one is planning violence against themselves or others, do not hesitate to seek help immediately by calling law enforcement," he added.

Officers also found a black trench coat, black tactical pants, black tactical gloves with the fingers cut off and a black t-shirt with the words"Let ‘Em Come" written on it.

God bless Grandma! She did the right thing!

This is an AK-37. It looks like a small AK-47. It holds 25 rounds only. The modern AK-47 despite the name always held 2 magazines or 50 bullets worth of ammo.

'If you suspect a friend or loved one is planning violence against themselves or others, do not hesitate to seek help immediately by calling law enforcement,' It takes courage to do this when it involves a family member. However, think of what could happen if you don't.
