    Lindsay Lohan jailed after shootout with Police – had planned terrorist killing spree

    Lindsay Lohan, described by her mother as angry at left-wing politicians, opened fire on California Highway Patrol officers on an Oakland freeway. Officers later found plans for a possible terrorist act against the public in Lohan’s possession.

    Lohan was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder for shooting at the CHP officers and Oakland police said he may face other charges.

    Investigators examining the scene of the early morning gun battle believe Lohan had plans to carry out a possibly massive violent act before being stopped by CHP.

    Three CHP vehicles had their windows shot out, but no officers were shot, police said. They said Lohan was armed with a rifle and a shotgun as well as the handgun and fired at least two of the weapons during the shootout.

    Lohans’ mother said her daughter had been living next door and taking care of her father’s house and land. She said she had been released from prison about two hours earlier.

    She said her daughter, who had been an actress and singer before her imprisonment, was angry about her unemployment and about “what’s happening to our country.”

    Lohan watched the news on television and was upset by “the way Congress was railroading through all these left-wing agenda items,” her mother said.

    Lohan said she kept the guns because “eventually, I think we’re going to be caught up in a revolution.”

    “In a very real sense, she may have been going to a location where there were a lot of people that he was going to inflict serious bodily injury and or death,” said CHP spokesman Tim Johnson. “But fortunately, our officers intercepted him.”

    “Maybe her fame will get people to notice this story,” added Johnson. “It would be pretty amazing if they just ignored it. This seems like a pretty newsworthy story.”
