Teen Plots Mass Shooting; Court Upholds Illinois Gun Ban

A 13-year-old boy allegedly planned a mass shooting at a Canton synagogue.

In a shocking turn of events, a 13-year-old lad from Canton, Ohio finds himself tangled in the cobwebs of the criminal justice system, facing heavy charges. The boy stands accused of drafting a chilling blueprint for a mass shooting, and the desecrated target was a community place of peace and sanctuary - a synagogue in the heart of Canton. To magnify the alarm, the adolescent allegedly took to the great wide web to air his bone-chilling intentions, sharing his purported plans on the mercilessly anarchy-ridden sphere of social media.

Such instances imperatively spotlight the ominous abyss of cyberspace that lurks behind its friendly face.
