On Thursday, the Philadelphia Police Department had received word from the FBI in Norfolk that “individuals with firearms were en route to the Convention Center area operating a silver Hummer truck,” a department spokesman said Friday in an email to The Virginian-Pilot.
At 10:20 p.m. Thursday, officers spotted such a truck parked unattended about a block from the center, where ballots from the presidential election are still being counted.
The officers broadcast that information over police radio. Two bicycle patrol officers then shortly found two men with guns, who they determined did not have valid Pennsylvania permits allowing them to carry firearms.
LaMotta was carrying a Beretta 9-millimeter pistol in a holster on his hip, police said at a news conference Friday afternoon. Macias had a Beretta 40-caliber pistol concealed under his jacket.
They were arrested and acknowledged the Hummer was theirs, police said. An AR-style rifle was found inside the truck. There was ammunition in the guns and the truck, officials said.

The Inquirer also reported that the Hummer displayed stickers supporting the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory, which purports that America is being led by Satan-worshiping pedophiles who are part of a global child sex-trafficking ring, and that President Donald Trump is secretly working to stop them.
