Arsonist receives 10-year sentence for Illinois Planned Parenthood attack

Tyler Massengill, who set fire to a Planned Parenthood clinic in Illinois, has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison. Massengill used a homemade explosive to start the fire, which occurred shortly after a law providing additional legal protections for abortion procedures was signed. No one was inside the clinic at the time. The judge noted the extensive damage caused to the building and the fear and inconvenience inflicted on patients and employees. Massengill was ordered to pay $1.45 million in restitution, and the clinic plans to reopen in 2024.
