at the home of a 15-year-old boy who had been communicating online with Pelkey, according to a declaration by FBI Special Agent Garrett Drew.
“Juvenile #1 further explained that they would enter the Shia mosque and separate the adults from the children, then murder the adults,” Drew stated. “If they had not encountered law enforcement at that point, they would continue on to another Shia mosque or Jewish synagogue and execute the same plan.”
According to Drew, Juvenile #1 told investigators that Pelkey had told him he’d already built an explosive device to “get more people,” and that he’d be responsible for acquiring more firearms and ammunition. Agents seized multiple firearms during the raid on Juvenile #1′s home, including a Remington pump shotgun, as well as swords, knives, a bow and arrows, multiple homemade ISIS flags and multiple electronic devices, according to the declaration.A week later, FBI agents in Kentucky executed a search warrant at the residence of Juvenile #2.
