A San Francisco Bay Area man has been charged after the FBI discovered online threats of a mass shooting at a synagogue.
Ross Farca, 23, of Concord pleaded not guilty to making criminal threats, possession of an illegal assault rifle and manufacturing an assault rifle, The Associated Press reports.
A search warrant uncovered an illegal AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, a high-capacity magazine, Nazi literature and camouflage clothes.
Authorities said he built a complete weapon after legally buying an AR-15 rifle frame.
Farca’s online threats included shooting law enforcement.
The inspiration for a future attack came from the Christchurch mosque shootings in New Zealand and the Poway synagogue shooting in San Diego, authorities said.
“I would probably get a body count of like 30 (Jews) and then like five police officers because I would also decide to fight to the death,” court records say Farca wrote in one online post.
