Story summary

James Cody Bryant, a 30-year-old from Bellingham, Washington, was indicted by a grand jury on October 14 for conspiracy to murder persons in a foreign country related to the Tumbler Ridge school shooting. The indictment alleges that Bryant provided logistical support and encouragement to Jesse Van Rootselaar through online communications on Discord, including livestreaming plans, financial aid, and advice on weapons and attack locations. Prosecutors argued Bryant poses a danger to the community, leading a Seattle court to deny her bail on October 13. Eight people died in the February 10 attack, with five students and one staff member at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School among the victims. The indictment means there is probable cause for pursuing the case, which could result in life imprisonment if convicted.
