A man who called himself an “incel” — or “involuntary celibate” — had been planning a mass shooting at an Ohio University that targeted sorority women, officials say.
According to a statement released by the Department of Justice: “The incel movement is an online community of predominantly men who harbor anger towards women. Incels seek to commit violence in support of their belief that women unjustly deny them sexual or romantic attention to which they believe they are entitled.”
Investigators determined that the suspect, 21-year-old Tres Genco, had written a manifesto that detailed his “hatred, jealousy and revenge.” He’d apparently planned to kill “3,000 people.”
