OWOSSO, Mich. – A Michigan man who “became infatuated” with mass murders, and even planned to carry out his own, has learned his sentence.
Mack Davis, 23, of Owosso, "became infatuated with other mass murderers and planned to conduct his own," court documents say.

He drafted a list of weapons and tactical gear for his plan, and his writings show that he surveilled churches, synagogues, mosques, schools, hospitals, and supermarkets, according to federal authorities.
Davis wrote about his "hate for this world and for the people in it, all people," saying, “I hate you all the same,” officials said.
He posted pictures of himself making a Nazi salute and holding a copy of Adolf Hitler’s antisemitic manifesto.
Officials said Davis focused on attacking two locations that were close to each other: a political party’s county headquarters and a bar. He targeted those places because he believed they would contain members of the LGBTQ+ community, police said.
He planned to “fire on anyone and anything” near those spots, federal officials said.
Davis test-fired about 60 bullets into his neighbors’ cars -- one of which he had previously vandalized with an anti-gay slur, police said.
While police investigated that shooting, they found an illegally sawed-off rifle, a shotgun, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, a crossbow and arrows, bomb-making parts, tactical gear, and knives.
Davis wrote an anti-gay slur on one side of a knife and “death to you all” with a swastika on the other, police said.
“Davis devised wicked plans,” United States Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon Jr. said. “He said he would kill ‘anyone and anything’ that crossed his path and planned to attack homosexuals. And his venom for Jews is part of the sickening rise in antisemitism and attacks against believers. But we will protect every American.”
Davis pleaded guilty to one count under the federal hate crime statute. He was sentenced Thursday, April 16, 2026, to seven years in federal prison.
