A pawn shop operator here was arrested on a weapons charge and a van was seized in a town 30 miles away as authorities expanded their investigation into last week's Jersey City shooting rampage now viewed as an act of domestic terrorism.

The note, which the police found during their investigation, led them to a pawnshop almost 40 miles south of Jersey City, the site of the shooting. On Friday evening, they searched the store and found 10 guns and over 400 rounds of ammunition. The shop’s owner, Ahmed A-Hady, 35, was arrested early on Saturday morning on criminal weapons charges, federal authorities said.

Also Saturday, Ahmed A-Hady, 35, was arrested on one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito said in a statement that the FBI seized several weapons and over 400 rounds of ammunition during searches of the Buy N Sell City and A-Hady's home.

Some locals were stunned by A-Hady's arrest. Pritesh Patel said he has worked at a shop across the street from the pawn business for more than a year and never saw or heard of any trouble.
“It’s usually nice and quiet,” Patel said.
The nature of A-Hady’s relationship to the shooters was not immediately revealed. A-Hady's brother, Adhem A-Hady, told the local CBS-TV station he had never heard of them before the shootings.
Records indicated that A-Hady purchased some of the weapons in 2007. Five years later, he was convicted of attempting to obtain drugs by fraud, a crime punishable by more than one year in state prison. That conviction made A-Hady ineligible to possess a firearm, Carpenito said.
