A Burleson man appeared before a judge for the first time this week after he was charged with possessing a homemade bomb.
22-year-old Noah Calderon was charged last month on one count of possession of a destructive device.
According to court documents, Calderon allegedly posted a series of photos of homemade explosives on Snapchat and the FBI was alerted by a tipster in October 2022.
The posts included an explosive marked “SS,” which investigators believed was a reference to the Nazi paramilitary group.
On social media, Calderon allegedly shared posts embracing white supremacy and said he had a fascination with mass shooting, especially the 1999 killing at Columbine High School, according to documents.
Investigators say that he also posted several photos of himself posing with AR-15 rifles and handguns.
A look into Calderon’s Google searches found several searches for the Columbine killers, Dylann Roof, the Charleston church shooter, and instructions on how to make various bombs. He also looked up the names of several local schools, according to investigators.
Federal agents raided Calderon’s home on April 17, and found items that could be used to detonate a bomb, metal bb’s and lead and more than 600 grams of explosive powder.
In Calderon’s room police said they found a handwritten note labeled ‘Manifesto’, that talked about the Columbine shooters and white supremacy.
