A mother's concern, call to authorities may have prevented potential attack on UFC event at the White House

The alleged plot to attack Sunday night's UFC event at the White House may have been unraveled by a worried mother who noticed her son's growing obsession with guns, tactical gear and secretive online communications.

According to court documents viewed by Fox News Digital, Tycen Proper, a 19-year-old Ohio man charged in connection with an alleged plot targeting a UFC event on the White House grounds, first came to investigators' attention after his mother became alarmed by his recent behavior and contacted authorities.
