A guy walks in to St. Patrick's Cathedral with four gallons of gasoline, two containers of lighter fluid, and two lighters.
But because of the fire at Notre Dame there is an increased security presence at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York. So they detain the guy. He says he is carrying the gas through the Cathedral as a shortcut to get to his car which ran out of gas. Turns out his car had plenty of gas. He is now enjoying the hospitality of the NYPD.
Not a surprise that there are copycat arsonists around. This guy is a strange bird though, and is apparently well known to police already.
In a normal week nobody would have noticed until the fire was already started. I suspect he would have succeeded.
