Jose Pagan Jr., 14, was nabbed after authorities received a tip last Saturday that the alleged would-be mass shooter had access to guns and was talking about targeting a church near his home in Wimauma. <\/p>\n

Jose Pagan Jr., 14, was nabbed after authorities received a tip he allegedly had access to guns and was talking about targeting a church near his Florida home.<\/p>\n
The teen was also allegedly involved in an online chatroom with violent extremists, with photos floating around of him donning a t-shirt with \u201cNLM\u201d \u2014 or \u201cNo Lives Matter\u201d \u2014 emblazoned across it.<\/p>\n
A raid on his home then uncovered multiple firearms and ammunition \u2014 as well as multiple devices containing child porn, the sheriff\u2019s office alleged.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t immediately clear who the guns were registered to. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe age of the individual involved does not lessen the seriousness of these crimes,\u201d\u00a0Sheriff Chad Chronister said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThreats of mass violence and the exploitation of children demand immediate action, and we will always move swiftly to protect lives and hold those responsible accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n
The teen was arrested and hit with a slew of terrorism and child porn charges. <\/p>\n
Authorities haven\u2019t disclosed which church Pagan had allegedly plotted to attack. But heightened security was put in place around two local churches in the wake of his arrest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A baby-faced teen with alleged ties to a neo-Nazi satanic hate group has been arrested in Florida for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":145118,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[692,28,30,29,66460,4278],"class_list":{"0":"post-145117","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-florida","8":"tag-arrest","9":"tag-florida","10":"tag-florida-headlines","11":"tag-florida-news","12":"tag-mass-shootings","13":"tag-us-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145117","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145117"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145117\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145118"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145117"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145117"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
