CANTON (AP) — UPDATE: A 13-year-old boy accused of planning a mass shooting at a Canton synagogue has been ordered to spend a year on probation.
The Canton Repository reports that the Plain Township boy pleaded true, the juvenile equivalent of guilty, on Friday to misdemeanor counts of inducing panic and disorderly conduct.
He’s accused of posting his plan to commit the shooting at Temple Israel in Canton on the live streaming platform Discord.
The plan included drawn maps of the synagogue. The incident allegedly took place on Sept. 1.
A hearing is scheduled for Dec. 20.
An attorney for the boy did not immediately respond to a call seeking comment.
The charges come amid a rise in antisemitism in the United States and worldwide.
