​

A manhunt is underway for a suspect who carried out an attempted terror attack on DHS agents.

This crazy person stole an ambulance from a local hospital, filled it with gas cans, then drove it straight into the building where a DHS office is located in Meridian, Idaho.

Here are some photos from the scene:

Police believe the suspect was trying to commit arson, but he fled when authorities responded to the scene of the crime.

Luckily, the maniac was thwarted before anybody was hurt.

Fox News reported:

Just after 11 p.m. Wednesday, an ambulance was stolen from a bay at St. Luke’s West hospital.

The suspect, who has not yet been identified, drove the ambulance through the parking lot and retrieved gas cans that were staged in nearby vegetation, according to Meridian Police Chief Tracy Basterrechea.

The suspect then drove the ambulance directly into the North Portico building, which houses DHS offices, Basterrechea said.

Investigators believe the suspect poured an accelerant inside and around the outside of the ambulance.

However, the suspect was unable to ignite the accelerant before being scared off by responding agencies, according to Basterrechea.

Meridian Police Chief Tracy Basterrechea provided more details on the attack at a press conference.
