A North Carolina woman was arrested for plotting to “kill as many Jews as possible” at a synagogue in Houston, by driving through the congregation.
The article below says she planned to do this in 2028. I don’t know if that’s a misprint or this really was supposed to be an election year massacre.
Here’s more from the Houston Chronicle:
Congregation Beth Israel closed its Houston campus Wednesday after authorities in North Carolina arrested a woman accused of conspiring to “kill as many Jews as possible” in 2028 by driving through the congregation, court records allege.
The court documents filed by authorities in Davidson County accuse 18-year-old Angelina Han Hicks of conspiring with two other people identified as “Teegan” and “Angel” to attack members of Beth Israel, the oldest Jewish congregation in Texas.
Hicks was charged Wednesday with felony conspiracy to commit murder and felony conspiracy to commit assault with a deadly weapon. Her bond was set at $10 million.
Hicks’ lawyer, Chad C. Freeman, emphasized that the case was in its early stages and said his client’s young age could be a factor in her legal defense.
“I anticipate getting numerous experts involved in the case to look at both investigatory and possible forensic matters,” Freeman said.
“The conspiracy is to kill as many Jews as possible by driving through a congregation at a synagogue,” stated a court order signed by Judge Carlton Terry that listed the reasons for Hicks’ arrest. The document says Hicks’ detention was necessary to prevent her from communicating with other alleged conspirators, which would likely put “lives at risk.”
Court records show that Teegan and Angel haven’t been arrested, and their last names aren’t known.
