There was an unusual situation Saturday morning that caused a huge standoff on I-95 in Massachusetts, starting around 2 a.m. local time.
Police found two cars pulled over on the road, after they apparently ran out of gas, and stopped to assist them.
In the cars were 11 heavily-armed individuals with rifles and pistols in military-style tactical gear. The men told the police that they were going to Maine from Rhode Island for “training.” They claimed to be from a group that “doesn’t recognize our laws” and refused to put down their weapons or comply with the authorities, which started a standoff with the police, with some of them taking off into the surrounding woods.
