An Ohio man and self-described “incel” plotted a mass shooting at Ohio State University, specifically targeting women living at sorority houses on campus, according to a federal indictment unsealed on Wednesday.Tres Genco, 21, of Hillsboro, is charged with attempting to commit a hate crime and unlawful possession of a machine gun. He pleaded not guilty to the charges Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Columbus. He is due back in court July 23.
Genco began identifying as an incel in January 2019, bought an AR-15 rifle, scouted locations at Ohio State University and wrote two manifestos about wanting to kill women, according to court records.He enlisted in the U.S. Army, where he went through four months of basic training until the Army discharged him for poor performance and bad conduct, according to court records.
In manifestos recovered by authorities after his May 12, 2020 arrest, he wrote about conducting a mass shooting on OSU’s campus on May 23 of that year, court records say.
