How police caught James Howell before he attacked a gay pride parade
SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- A resident of Santa Monica, California thought a prowler was in their neighborhood. That's how police thwarted what could have been Sunday's second terror attack on the LGBT community.

When officers arrived, Santa Monica Police Main person Jacqueline Seabrooks says they found James Howell, 20, inside a car registered to Indiana.
James is from New Albany, though a Facebook page that appears to be his says he currently lives in Jeffersonville.

A bomb squad had to be called to secure the vehicle, and Howell was arrested.
Seabrooks said on Twitter that Howell was headed to a large LA Identity festival event, which draws hundreds of thousands to Southern California. &nb
