Naval Academy Dropout Indicted Over Threat
A former U.S. Naval Academy midshipman, Jackson Fleming, 23, has been indicted for threatening a "mass execution" of his former classmates on a social app.
The threat led to a school-wide lockdown, during which a police officer accidentally shot a current student in a chaotic scuffle.
- Fleming dropped out of the Naval Academy in 2024, midway through his junior year.
- He was indicted by a federal grand jury on October 8 with one count of "interstate communications with a threat to injure".
- The incident occurred after Fleming posted a threatening message on the social app Jodel on September 11.
He would be "carrying out the mass execution of my peers in a couple"
