Key Points:
- A 17-year-old girl from North Carolina has been charged with murder by aiding and abetting in connection to a San Diego mosque shooting that killed three people.
- The girl livestreamed the attack and disseminated the attackers' white-supremacist manifesto, according to Forsyth County District Attorney Jim O’Neill.
- She was indicted on three counts of murder and one count of conspiracy by a grand jury just before the start of the school year.
- Under North Carolina law, aiding and abetting charges carry the same penalties as if she had directly committed the attack.
- The shooting occurred on May 18 when Cain Clark, 17, and Caleb Vazquez, 18, attacked the Islamic Center but were repelled by a security guard who helped protect about 140 children inside.
