A 16-year-old girl was arrested over her “detailed plan to commit murder” at a predominately black church in Georgia, police said Tuesday.
The teenager, who is white, was charged with criminal attempt to commit murder regarding the alleged plot at Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, according to a statement from the Gainesville Police Department.
Police did not reveal details of the plan, but said the church had been “targeted by the juvenile based on the racial demographic of the church members.”
