US Man Charged with Conspiracy in Connection to Canada School Shooting
James Cody Bryant, a 30-year-old from Bellingham, Washington, has been arrested and charged in the US with conspiracy to murder in connection to the February Tumbler Ridge school shooting in British Columbia. Authorities allege Bryant communicated with shooter Jesse Van Rootselaar for six months, providing advice, money, and technical support, including livestreaming the attack. Bryant reportedly had opportunities to alert law enforcement but did not. Van Rootselaar killed six people before taking her own life. Bryant faces potential life imprisonment if convicted.
