On Monday, Trinity Shockley, the transgender high school student who planned a mass shooting, pleaded to a conspiracy to commit murder charge. 

Shockley, was planning to attempt a mass shooting at Mooresville High School in Indiana. She was arrested and recently pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder charges and 2 counts of intimidation in exchange for a terrorism charge. The conspiracy charge will make Shockley a level 2 felon. 

The sentence is 20 years, 12.5 being served in prison with the rest suspended and a 5 year probation. The FBI received a tip only 3 days before the shooting was going to take place on February 14th. The tipster mentioned the date, the person, and that the person had access to an AR-15 along with a bullet proof vest. 

After making disturbing posts on social media platform Discord, Shockley spoke to a detective from the Mooresville Police Department where she said “joking” and “would never do that and does not have access to a gun.” After the interview, Shockley was put under arrest. (RELATED: ‘Another Burden’: Wisconsin Leaders Split Over Wheel Tax Hike)

Shockley reportedly had an obsession with Parkland High School shooter Nikolas Cruz. Police found notebooks inside Shockley’s backpack with swastikas and the words “kill,” “bang,” and “I hate you all DIE DIE DIE,” according to an affidavit.

Court documents say Trinity is transgender, going by the name Jamie. During court hearings, Shockley answered to Trinity, and Shockley’s attorney told WTHR that she/her are her preferred pronouns. (RELATED: Fond Du Lac DA Eric Toney Wages Rematch For Wisconsin Attorney General Race)

This is one of several shootings from LGBTQ members caught in the past six months. The shooting in Minneapolis and the Charlie Kirk shooting were all committed by people who identified with the LGBTQ community. Shockley, thankfully, was caught before any harm could be done.
