Federal authorities arrested a self-described “incel” who allegedly planned to target women in a mass shooting at an Ohio university
In several 2019 notes, Genco said he intended to “slaughter” women and indicated a desire to commit a large-scale mass shooting at an unnamed Ohio university, according to an indictment filed in federal court Tuesday and unsealed Wednesday.
Genco also allegedly searched online for sororities in southern Ohio shortly after writing his 2019 manifesto, and in early 2020, he looked up “planning a shooting crime” and carried out surveillance at a college in Ohio. Local police discovered Genco’s writings during a 2020 search at his house, after somebody reported Genco was behaving erratically and seemed intent on causing harm, according to a complaint by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Police also found a modified semiautomatic pistol that functioned as a machine gun, ATF said in its complaint, which was filed in court three months ago.
