A 13-year-old Ohio boy charged in early September with planning a mass shooting at a local synagogue will appear in family court next Wednesday for a pretrial hearing, according to court documents.

Around Sept. 1, the teenager “did create a detailed plan to complete a mass shooting at the Temple Israel” in Canton, just south of Akron, Ohio, according to a complaint from an official with the Stark County Sheriff’s office.
