University of Delaware Student Arrested with Guns and Manifesto Referencing ‘Martyrdom’
On November 24, 2025, Wilmington, Delaware, resident and University of Delaware student Luqmaan Khan, 25, was stopped by police during an after-hours property check in Canby Park West. Khan is a legal immigrant from Pakistan.
Court documents reveal that Khan was asked, and subsequently refused, to exit the vehicle. He was taken into custody and, during a search of his vehicle, officers found a .357 caliber Glock handgun loaded with 27 rounds.
The United States District Attorney’s Office, District of Delaware shares, “The handgun had been inserted into a microplastic conversion firearm brace kit. Within the vehicle, officers also found all the following: (i) three more loaded, 27-round magazines (one in the storage slot of the conversion kit); (ii) a loaded Glock 9mm magazine; (iii) an armored ballistic plate; and (iv) a marble composition notebook.”
“In the handwritten notebook, Khan discussed additional weapons and firearms, how they could be used in an attack, and how law enforcement detection could be avoided once an attack was carried out. The notebook referenced a member of the University of Delaware’s Police Department by name, and included a layout of a building with entry and exit points under which the words ‘UD Police Station’ were printed.”
According to The Daily News, in addition to mentioning a UDPD officer by name, investigators shared that the notebook included writings about “martyrdom.”
The following day, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and NCCPD executed a search warrant at Khan’s Wilmington residence and discovered a Glock 19 9mm handgun equipped with an illegal machinegun conversion device.
A .556 rifle with a scope and a red dot sight, eleven more extended magazines, hollow point rounds of ammunition, and a two-plate tactical vest equipped with a single ballistic plate were also recovered.
