A teenager in Oregon planned to set off an explosive at a shopping mall in Washington State and shoot people as they fled the movie theater there, said law enforcement officials, one of whom said the plot “was as serious as it gets.”
The teenager, who is from Columbia County, Ore., and whose name and precise age were not released, was arrested on May 22 by deputies from the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office, according to the F.B.I.
