Two people arrested for shooting at electrical substations in the US state of Washington. https://www.justice.gov/usao-wdwa/press-release/file/1560621/download
The indictment says they did it to distract from stealing what would have been at most several hundred dollars from a cash register.
If they stuck with the burglary, there probably wouldn't have even been an investigation beyond a police report. But this turned into a real FBI investigation and Federal firearms charges.
So are these two just much dumber than usual, or is there something else going on?
