A self-described white nationalist who followed the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting suspect on social media was arrested on a gun charge after concerned relatives called the police on him, The Washington Post reports. Jeffrey R. Clark Jr., a 30-year-old from Washington, D.C., was reportedly charged with “illegally possessing a firearm and a high-speed magazine” in a Tuesday court appearance in U.S. District Court in Washington. The Post reports that Clark was arrested on Nov. 9, after two family members alerted authorities about his increasingly worrisome outbursts, including allegedly saying the 11 victims of the synagogue shooting “deserved it.” He also reportedly told family the FBI might come looking for him because he followed synagogue shooting suspect Robert Bowers online.
