A Washington state 14-year-old boy, Mason Bently-Ray Ashby, is accused of planning to carry out a mass shooting at a Kennewick high school. Allegedly, Ashby posted a color-coded map of the high school, ahead of his planned “massacre.”

As reported by the Tri-City Herald, authorities began investigating the case after a Florida resident contacted the FBI on September 19. The person had alerted the bureau of an alleged TikTok video that showed a color-coded map with targets of Kamiakin High School in Kennewick, Washington.
