KILLER CONSEQUENCES: Trans student admits to plotting school shooting, kept ‘shrine’ to mass killers

2

FROM FOX NEWS: A transgender high school student in Indiana accused of plotting a Valentine’s Day mass shooting has reached a plea deal, pleading guilty to a single count of conspiracy to commit murder.

Trinity J. Shockley, 18, was charged in February in Morgan Superior Court with conspiracy to commit murder and two counts of intimidation to commit terrorism.

Shockley identifies as a transgender male and often goes by Jamie or Dex, according to authorities.

Court records show a plea agreement was filed Friday, with a hearing held Monday where Shockley pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder, a Level 2 felony. The two intimidation charges were dropped under the deal. Sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 24 at 10:15 a.m.

Authorities uncovered Shockley’s alleged plan through a tip to the FBI in Indianapolis. The tipster revealed Shockley’s plan and said he had access to an AR-15 rifle and a bulletproof vest. The FBI quickly reached out to the Mooresville Metropolitan Police Department and coordinated an investigation.

The tipster also told authorities about Shockley’s infatuation with Nikolas Cruz, the 2018 Parkland school shooter. Shockley’s home reportedly contained a shrine to recent mass shooters, including Cruz, Dylann Roof, and Ethan Crumbley.

Shockley’s attorney requested a sentence of 12.5 years in prison and up to five years of probation. Under Indiana law, a person convicted of a Level 2 felony faces between 10 and 30 years in prison.
