According to Forsyth County District Attorney Jim O'Neill, a 17-year-old North Carolina girl has been indicted for murder by aiding and abetting in a San Diego mosque shooting. The teen was arrested last week and indicted by a grand jury on the same day she would have started her school year. O'Neill explained that under North Carolina law, aiding and abetting makes a person responsible for the crime committed by another, as if they had personally carried out all necessary acts.
The shooting occurred on May 18, when Cain Clark, 17, and Caleb Vazquez, 18, entered the Islamic Center of San Diego and killed three people, including a security guard. The gunmen later took their own lives. Their writings displayed antisemitic views, called for a violent race war, and referenced the 2019 Christchurch mosque attack in New Zealand as inspiration.
The livestream of the attack was recorded using GoPro helmets worn by the shooters. Authorities discovered that the teens planned to target additional locations, including a local Jewish temple and a predominantly African American high school. Police found 30 guns and a crossbow, which had been taken from the shooters' parents' possession.
