US teen faces murder charges over livestream of San Diego mosque shooting

A 17-year-old North Carolina girl has been charged with murder for allegedly recording and livestreaming a deadly attack on a San Diego mosque, according to a BBC report.

Prosecutors say she also published a manifesto from the two teenage gunmen who killed three people at the Islamic Center of San Diego on 18 May before taking their own lives.

Forsyth County District Attorney Jim O’Neill said she faces three murder charges and conspiracy, chargeable under North Carolina’s aiding-and-abetting law. The gunmen, aged 17 and 18, reportedly planned further attacks on a synagogue and a school.
