Ohio man charged with threatening to carry out mass shooting at California middle school. An Ohio man was charged with threat ening to carry out a school shooting at a California middle school , the Justice Department announced this week. Alex Jaques, 21, was charged with making interstate threats - and the FBI found out because he posted videos of his guns on YouTube, according to the Justice Department. In the video posted on YouTube, Jaques allegedly shot a Chromebook and then made threats to Washington Middle School in Salinas, California. "The video shows an Uzi-style weapon being discharged in rapid succession and multiple shots fired from a rifle-style weapon," a release from DOJ says. That video was titled "Torture testing a Chromebook (Washington Middle School)," DOJ says. They say he obtained the laptop because one of his siblings allegedly went to the school.
