HOUSTON --Police went to a southwest Houston apartment to break up a disturbance but ended up finding something else, KPRC Local2 reported Wednesday.
When officers went inside, they found something that made them concerned enough to call the bomb squad. They found an AT-4 shoulder-mounted rocket launcher. It can shoot a missile nearly 1,000 feet through buildings and tanks. According to court documents, officers also found Jihadist writings.
Prosecutors said there are no state charges for having the unarmed launcher or possessing Jihadist writings, unless they contain some type of threat. The former director of Houston's FBI office said rocket launchers can be dangerous if they're in the wrong hands. Houston police said they did a thorough investigation and did not find any ties to terrorists or a terrorist network.
