PLAINFIELD, Ind. -- The United States Attorney is expected to announce charges Monday in a high-profile case involving threats made against Plainfield High School and a mall last year.
The threats were made over Facebook in late 2015 and early 2016 by a person using the moniker “Brian Kil." They prompted the evacuation and closure of both The Shops at Perry Crossing and Plainfield High School and caused parents to keep their children from school for several days while they were being investigated.
The posts on social media even targeted a female student by name saying things like “they can’t close school every day.”
The person making the threats on social media said they had three pipe bombs, two handguns and a small semi-automatic rifle and that they had planned to use them at different locations in the Plainfield area.

The threats continued over multiple days before “Brian Kil” posted that they were all just a joke and that they had no intention of following through with them. They admitted to hacking an iCloud account of a Plainfield student they “never met or made contact with” and that they would never be caught because they lived “an ocean away.”
The FBI has been actively involved in the case along with Indiana State Police and the Plainfield and Brownsburg authorities.
