A 21-year-old man accused of plotting a mass shooting at a synagogue in Ohio is indicted on a federal hate crime charge.
The Justice Department says that his plan was never carried out and that it came about after a gunman killed 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue in October.
A federal grand jury grand jury indicts Damon Joseph this week on charges that include attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State group and attempting to commit a hate crime.
Joseph, of the Toledo suburb of Holland, was arrested in early December after he received two AR-15 rifles from an undercover agent. Investigators say he talked about wanting to kill as many people as possible at a synagogue in the Toledo area.
His attorney declines to comment.
