Man accused of plotting mass shooting targeting women at Ohio college

A man accused of plotting a mass shooting and targeting sorority members at an Ohio college was arrested and charged with an attempted hate crime, the Department of Justice announced Wednesday. 

Prosecutors said Tres Genco, 21, of Hillsboro, Ohio, allegedly planned to shoot women at the university, which they did not name. He's been charged with one count of attempting to commit a hate crime and one count of illegally possessing a machine gun. If found guilty, he could face up to life in prison for the hate crime charge and up to 10 years for the weapons charge.  Last March, officers searching Genco's residence discovered a firearm with a bump stock, which is used to shoot multiple bullets in a row, loaded magazines, body armor, and boxes of ammunition inside the trunk of his vehicle, officials said. Inside his home, they discovered a Glock-style 9mm semi-automatic pistol without a manufacturer's marks or serial number, which makes the gun untraceable, they added.
