On October 6, James Cody Bryant, a 30-year-old resident of Bellingham, Washington who uses female pronouns and goes by "Melody," was arrested and charged with one count of conspiracy to murder persons in a foreign country. Prosecutors argue that Bryant conspired with Jesse Van Rootselaar—who killed eight people on February 10, including five students and a staff member at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, along with her mother and stepbrother—to plan the mass shooting over several months.
The Seattle court denied Bryant bail on October 13 after prosecutors argued that she posed a danger to the community and was likely to flee. The U.S. Department of Justice stated that the indictment details Bryant's actions, including agreeing to livestream the attack, providing financial support, and giving advice on weapon selection and locations for attacks. Bryant faces up to life in prison under the conspiracy charge.
