In the United States, Valentine’s Day could have turned into a nightmare in an Indiana high school. “I have planned this for a year,” wrote Trinity Shockley, 18, in disturbing messages discovered online. Thanks to the vigilance of an internet user, this high school student from Mooresville was arrested Thursday for a conspiracy to commit murder, reports ABC News. She is detained without surety at Morgan County prison.
The case was launched by a report received via the Say Something program from the promised Sandy Hook organization of the FBI. An informant alerted the authorities to a friend who was preparing an attack in her high school, had access to an AR-15 rifle and had just ordered a bulletproof vest. The investigation revealed that the young woman was fascinated by Nikolas Cruz, the author of the Massacre of Parkland in 2018, which she described as a model.
