Feds charge Washington man with aiding Canada's Tumbler Ridge school shooter, who killed 8

The charge is conspiracy to murder persons in a foreign country.

Prosecutors allege James Cody Bryant, 30, of Bellingham, Wash gave the shooter advice and money, offered to livestream the Feb. 10 attack, and never alerted police.

From the charging case:

  • How they met: on Omegle, about 3 years before the attack.
  • Discord message cited by prosecutors: "You believe me when I promise I won't snitch on you, right?"
  • Acting US Attorney Neil Floyd: Bryant "had the information and ability to alert law enforcement... but chose not to."
