Woman charged with plotting attack on Houston synagogue 'to kill as many Jews as possible' [View all]

RALEIGH, North Carolina — A North Carolina woman has been charged with participating in a conspiracy to attack members of a Texas synagogue designed to “kill as many Jews as possible by driving through a congregation,” according to court documents.

Angelina Han Hicks, 18, of Lexington, was being held Thursday in the Davidson County jail under a $10 million bond, jail records show.

Hicks was arrested Wednesday and formally charged with conspiring with two men to commit murder and assault at Congregation Beth Israel in Houston on April 21, 2028, according to warrants laying out two felony counts against her.

Congregation Beth Israel, a Reform synagogue, and the Shlenker School, a preschool and elementary school, decided to close its campuses on Wednesday “out of an abundance of caution.”
