Federal prosecutors say Forrest Kendall Pemberton, 27, of Florida is indicted for allegedly plotting a mass shooting targeting Jewish employees at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). According to prosecutors, the alleged plan involved an attack on the group’s office. One account states that prosecutors say the attempted shooting was tied to a Dec. 23, 2024 date. Another outlet reports that prosecutors describe Pemberton as being armed with an AR-15-style rifle equipped with a silencer. The indictment centers on the alleged intent to carry out a mass shooting aimed at Jewish employees at the advocacy organization. The reports present the case as a federal prosecution and do not indicate that a shooting occurred, focusing instead on the alleged plot and the alleged preparation and capability described by prosecutors. The outlets do not provide additional details such as the procedural status of the case, any defense response, or the specific legal charges beyond the fact that Pemberton is indicted. The allegations are presented as claims by federal prosecutors.
