Judge Assigns Teen Who Plotted Synagogue Shooting a Book Report
A 13-year-old Ohio teenager who threatened to shoot up a synagogue in September—a threat authorities uncovered he didn’t have the facilities to carry out—pleaded guilty Monday, with a judge ruling he must write a book report about a diplomat who organized a Jewish rescue operation during World War II as part of his punishment, CNN reported.
The boy, who has not been identified publicly because of his age, will also have to undergo counseling, go to a juvenile detention center for 180 days, and be on probation for a year, the network said.
The teen is also reportedly barred from accessing the internet without supervision for a year.
