A 13-year-old in Ohio is facing criminal charges after allegedly crafting „a detailed plan“ for a mass shooting at a synagogue in September, according to court documents obtained by CNN.
The teen, whom authorities have not publicly identified, posted „a detailed plan to complete a mass shooting“ at Temple Israel in Canton, the documents state. The defendant posted the plan on the social media platform Discord, and when authorities notified public individuals and agencies and the school system, it caused „significant public alarm,“ according to the documents.
The 13-year-old is charged with misdemeanor counts of inducing panic and disorderly conduct in the Sept. 1 incident, according to the documents. CNN has reached out to the teen’s attorney for comment.
The story was earlier reported by CNN affiliate WOIO and local outlet WKYC.
It’s unclear if any weapons were found when the teen was arrested or how serious the intentions were.
