The FBI foiled a mass shooting plot at a California school: two 15-year-old girls conspired for months

The FBI intervened to prevent a planned mass shooting at Corona High School in Riverside County, California. The investigation began on October 6 after agents identified social media communications indicating a potential threat against the institution. Two 15-year-old girls were identified as having conspired for months to carry out the attack.

Law enforcement authorities acted upon these findings to neutralize the threat before any violence could occur. The case highlights the role of digital monitoring in identifying and preempting planned school violence.
