What they're saying:
In a statement, FBI Charlotte said, "A fast-moving, multistate FBI investigation led to the arrests of one adult and one juvenile accused of planning an attack at a Jewish Day School in Houston, Texas. 18-year-old Angela Hicks is currently facing two state charges brought by the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office in Lexington, North Carolina. A juvenile was charged in Harris County, Texas.
The FBI Charlotte Joint Terrorism Task Force began the investigation Tuesday evening after a tip to a North Carolina law enforcement agency. This is an exceptional example of when you see something concerning, you say something to law enforcement. We also want to recognize our partners at FBI Houston and in the Jewish community in North Carolina, Texas, and nationwide, including the Jewish Federation for their assistance.
The joint FBI multistate investigation is ongoing."
