The Metcalf Sniper Attack

"... the most significant incident of domestic terrorism involving the (power) grid that has ever occurred."

In the early morning hours of April 16th, 2013, a group or individual would attack an electrical substation just outside of San Jose, California. Armed with at least two rifles, this mysterious entity would open fire on the station's transformers, destroying more than a dozen and causing more than $15 million in damages.

Years later, federal officials still have no idea who perpetrated this bizarre attack on America's power grid - or why.
