Newly unsealed court documents say a Missouri man who was planning to bomb a
Kansas City-area hospital was distressed by the government’s response to the
coronavirus crisis. Timothy Wilson, of Raymore, died March 24 in a firefight
with FBI agents. The violent take-down followed a long-running domestic
terrorism investigation that began in 2019. The Kansas City Star reports that
Wilson considered an attacking the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City,
Kansas, before settling on a plan to attack Belton Regional Medical Center.
Investigators say he was motivated by racial, religious and anti-government
animus, and moved up his timeline as the coronavirus made its way to Missouri.
