She Wasn't at Mosque, but Aided Livestream of Mass Shooting.

A Forsyth County grand jury indicted a 17-year-old girl Monday on charges tied to her role in the San Diego mosque shooting that killed three people on May 18.

• 3 counts of murder and 1 count of conspiracy were returned by the grand jury.
• 140 children were steps away when gunmen Cain Clark and Caleb Vazquez stormed the Islamic Center.
• The two gunmen killed guard Amin Abdullah and two other men before dying nearby.
• Their writings cited the 2019 Christchurch attacker, who killed 51 people, as a model.

Why it matters: Under North Carolina law, aiding-and-abetting murder carries the same penalties as committing the act, Forsyth County District Attorney Jim O'Neill said.

• O'Neill said she recorded the attack's livestream and published the attackers' manifesto.
• Prosecutors cited the seriousness of the allegations and her imminent return to school as factors in pursuing charges.
