Trinity Shockley, an 18-year-old girl attending Mooresville High School in Indiana, has been accused of planning a mass shooting at her school on Valentine's Day. This shocking news came to light on Thursday when the police received a tip about the planned shooting on Tuesday evening.
According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by WBIW, Shockley's plan involved using an AR-15 rifle and purchasing a bulletproof vest. The affidavit stated that she had been planning this massacre for over a year and even referred to it as "Parkland Part Two," in reference to the tragic shooting carried out by 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, which claimed the lives of 17 individuals.
Upon receiving a search warrant for Shockley's home, the police discovered an AR-15 rifle, a soft armor vest, a few notebooks, and a collage of mass shooters, including Cruz, Dylann Roof, and Randy Stair. They also found a poster in her bedroom depicting an imagined school shooting. In one of her notebooks, Shockley described herself as a "transgender male with a lot of homicidal thoughts." However, when questioned by the police, she claimed that she was just joking about the massacre and made those remarks out of anger and a need for help. Shockley also stated that she did not have access to a firearm.
On the day of her arrest, Shockley met with a counselor on campus and confessed that she was "sexually attracted" to Cruz. She even admitted to having a heart-shaped locket with his photo and writing to him multiple times, as stated in the affidavit. Shockley's alleged motive for the shooting was to show her devotion to Cruz. The affidavit read, "Trinity has an emotional attachment to Cruz. Her message behind the plan is that she does not like people who think they are better than everyone else and that people should value their everyday life."
Cruz, who is now 26, was spared from the death penalty and is currently serving a life sentence. As for Shockley, she has been charged with conspiracy to commit murder, conspiracy to commit intimidation, and intimidation. She had her initial court hearing on Friday and is currently being held without bail at Morgan County Jail in Martinsville. Her pretrial conference is scheduled for May 19, and her jury trial is set to begin on June 10. Mooresville, where the alleged shooting was planned, is located about 19 miles southwest of Indianapolis.
