A high school student has been arrested on suspicion of plotting an ISIS-inspired mass shooting at Stonebriar Centre mall in Frisco, Texas,
17 year old Matin Azizi-Yarand faces charges of making a terroristic threat and criminal solicitation of capital murder of a Texas peace officer. He was taken into custody at school.
Azizi-Yarand planned to carry out the attack in mid-May with other participants. He had sent more than $1,400 to others to buy weapons and tactical gear and had written a “Message to America” explaining his reasons for the attack.
The teen discussed his plans online with FBI confidential sources and an undercover employee.
During one conversation, he stated: “I’d actually like to make a cop surrender and drop his gun, then douse him with gasoline and burn him, and record it.”
