A 13-year-old Ohio boy, identified as J.R., has been charged in connection with a plot to commit a mass shooting at a synagogue in September.
The charges, filed in Stark County juvenile court, include inducing panic and disorderly conduct. The teen, reported by Discord to law enforcement in early September, allegedly created a detailed plan for a mass shooting at Temple Israel in Canton.
The report triggered an investigation that resulted in the suspect’s arrest, as confirmed by both the police and the messaging platform company.
