Pennsylvania Man Arrested for Alleged ISIS Conspiracy and Weapons PossessionPreviousNext

Jonathan Hunter Kramer, a 21-year-old from Valencia, Pennsylvania, was arrested by the FBI for allegedly conspiring to carry out an ISIS-inspired attack. Authorities seized a semiautomatic rifle, ammunition, and magazines after tracking him to a hotel. Kramer, who previously faced juvenile charges related to a mass-casualty plot and possession of child sexual abuse material, reportedly pledged allegiance to ISIS and planned his mission while awaiting a weapon. An anonymous tip in March prompted renewed investigation leading to his arrest.
