A 30-year-old resident of Washington state is charged in the United States with providing assistance to a teenager accused of carrying out a mass shooting in Canada that killed eight people, including students, U.S. prosecutors say.
According to prosecutors, the defendant allegedly helped the shooter during the rampage. NBC News reports he is accused of providing assistance to the teenager. ABC Australia adds that U.S. officials say the man conspired with the 18-year-old shooter by encouraging him and offering to live-stream the attack.
Both outlets describe the case as involving alleged support for the Canadian attack and outline that the victims include schoolchildren. The accounts differ mainly in emphasis: NBC focuses on the charge of providing assistance, while ABC Australia highlights the alleged encouragement and live-streaming element.
