Pokemon Players Caught Bringing Guns Into World Championships

Two players set to attend the Pokemon World Championships in Boston were found attempting to bring weapons into the tournament. James Stumbo 27 and Kevin North 18 were caught after the Boston PD were alerted to a Facebook picture Stumbo posted online of an AR-5 and a shotgun with the quotes "(We) are ready for worlds Boston here we come!!!." The two were stopped and searched before entering the tournament with the Boston Police finding both of the guns from the Facebook post in their car. Since both players qualified for the tournament they wouldn't have needed to use any strong arm tactics to get inside, although it wasn't exactly clear what their motive would have been once in.
