A 22-year-old man from Hillsboro admitted in federal court Tuesday that he planned a mass shooting at Ohio State University, officials said.
Tres Genco pleaded guilty to one count of attempting to commit a hate crime, which carries a possible life sentence because the plot involved an attempt to kill, according to prosecutors."The Incel movement is an online community of predominantly men who harbor anger towards women," the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a news release announcing the plea.
After getting Genco to surrender, investigators said they found an AR-15-style rifle with a bump-stock and Glock pistol modified to fire fully automatically with no serial number. As part of his plea, prosecutors said, Genco admitted he possessed those weapons as part of his plot. Genco wrote a note indicating he hoped to kill as many as 3,000 people, prosecutors said. They added he attended Army basic training in Georgia from August through December 2019, though he was discharged.
