Teenage girl arrested for plotting Valentine’s Day mass shooting at Indiana high school

An Indiana school student, who suffered horrific injuries after being hit by a car three years ago, has been accused of plotting a mass shooting at a school near Indianapolis on Valentine’s Day.

Trinity Shockley, 18, was arrested and charged this week when police uncovered a plot to shoot up the Mooresville High School after receiving a tip-off from the FBI .

According the local news sources an informant told the FBI the student had access to her father’s AR-15 rifle and bullet-proof vest, and had expressed admiration for other mass shooters, including Nikolas Cruz, who murdered 17 people and wounded 17 others at Parkland High School , Florida on February 14, 2018.

Police claim to have found Shockley’s notebooks, revealing homicidal thoughts.

“I want to hurt others. All of these minorities are useless. I believe others don’t deserve to live. Everyone lives to die,” Shockley allegedly wrote.

According to messages exchanged on the chat platform Discord, Shockley identified as a transgender man.

Court documents also say that Shockley “has sought mental health resources” since “she was a freshman.

“Each time Trinity would try to receive mental health assistance, her father, Timothy Shockley, would deny her the access to the resources,” according to court records.

“Mr Shockley did not believe in mental health treatment and did not take his daughter’s conditions seriously. On November 12th, 2024, two weeks after her 18th birthday, Trinity signed herself up for mental health assistance.”

Shockley, the daughter of a 19-year US military veteran , was left with head injuries, including a brain contusion, and many broken bones after being hit by drunk driver as she crossed the road to catch a bus.

A GoFundMe page was set up by her family at the time and schools in Mooresville raised money to help her recovery.
