An 18-year-old Indiana resident, Trinity Shockley, was apprehended on Thursday under suspicion of orchestrating a mass shooting at her high school, which was allegedly planned for Valentine's Day. She currently faces charges of conspiracy to commit murder and intimidation and is being held without bail in the Morgan County Jail in Martinsville.

The investigation began after the FBI's Sandy Hook Promise Say Something Anonymous Reporting System received a tip. The anonymous report indicated that a student, identified as "Jamie," was planning an attack, possessed an AR-15 rifle, and had recently acquired a bulletproof vest. The tipster also expressed concern over "Jamie's" obsession with Nikolas Cruz, the perpetrator of the 2018 Parkland school shooting. Disturbingly, "Jamie" allegedly referred to the planned attack as "Parkland part two" in online messages and claimed to have been planning it for a year.

Shockley, a senior at Mooresville High School, had sought counseling just days before her arrest. During the session, she reportedly revealed an unsettling attraction to Cruz, even claiming to have named future children she envisioned having with him. She also displayed a locket containing Cruz's photo and admitted to writing him letters.

A subsequent search of Shockley's residence revealed images of Cruz, Dylann Roof (the Charleston church shooter), and Andrew Blaze (the Pennsylvania grocery store shooter) displayed on her bedroom wall. Her backpack and laptop were adorned with buttons and images of these individuals. Investigators also found a poster for the school shooting film "Zero Day" and notebooks filled with disturbing drawings and phrases like "kill," "bang," and "I hate you all DIE DIE DIE." Her diary entries reportedly documented self-loathing, experiences with bullying, and violent ideations.

While AR-15 magazines, ammunition, and a bulletproof vest were found in Shockley's home, she later claimed to investigators that her threats were a "joke" and denied having access to a firearm. However, her social media posts reportedly contradicted this claim, featuring photos of the magazines, positive comments about Cruz and Roof, and threats of violence.

Mooresville Schools has stated that Shockley will not be returning to school. Detective Matthew McDaniel revealed that Shockley had a history of mental health counseling and suicidal thoughts dating back to her freshman year. However, the school reportedly deemed these instances insufficient for intervention. McDaniel also suggested that Shockley's father, Tim Shockley, had previously hindered her access to mental health resources due to his disbelief in such treatment.

Court documents also indicate that Shockley cited bullying as a motivating factor, stemming from a 2022 incident where she was struck by a drunk driver while waiting for the school bus. The accident resulted in significant injuries, including a fractured femur, fractured arm, sprained ACL, two brain contusions, and a spinal compression fracture. Following the accident, the school community rallied to support her recovery, raising over $12,000.

Attempts to reach Shockley's family for comment have been made. A court date has yet to be scheduled.
