A 22-year-old man has admitted to a plot intended to kill multiple people at a political party headquarters in Michigan and at a nearby bar because he associated both places with gay people. Mack Davis pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court in Flint to committing a hate crime by attempting to carry out a mass killing, according to the U.S. Attorney's office in Michigan.
A sentencing hearing is scheduled for April 15, where Davis faces any term of years in prison up to life. The judge will determine the guideline range at sentencing. Davis conducted online research and posted on social media about mass killings from at least July 2023 through June 2024, as per court documents.
