Samson Fussner spewed racist views months before his attempted attack, prosecutors say.

Prosecutors say he had a history of expressing white supremacist and antisemitic views.

He planned the potential mass shooting they called "a terror attack" and revealed his plans to his brother, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors filed the documents in an effort to have his weapons, ammunition and SUV seized.
