An 18 -year -old Indiana student has been accused of planning a massive shooting at school on Valentine’s Day, a plan she allegedly wrote was inspired by the shooting at the 2018 school in Parkland, Florida, who killed 17 people.
Jamie Shockley has been accused of conspiracy to commit murder, intimidation: threat to commit terrorism and intimidation of the conspiracy, according to documents of the Morgan County Court. No legal representation for Shockley was quoted in the Judicial Registry.
A sworn statement of probable cause says that Shockley is identified as a transgender man and that Jamie is his favorite name.
On Tuesday, a person who called the FBI Sandy Hook Tip Line told the authorities that a friend was planning a massive shooting in Mooresville High School, says the affidavit.
“Tipster declared that Your friend has access to an AR15 And he has just ordered a bulletproof vest, “says the Affidavit.” Tipster declared that this criminal admires Nicolas Cruz. ”
Cruz killed 14 students and three staff members in Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on February 14, 2018, in one of the most mortal school shootings in the modern history of the United States. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2022, without any possibility of probation.
The Affidavit says that the Council included messages that is alleged that Shockley sent through Discord an online social platform. One of the alleged messages said the student had been planning for a year and intended to kill one of his best friends, according to the affidavit.
“Parkland part two,” said the message, according to the affidavit.
The FBI drew the Internet provider address of discord messages to Mooresville, Indiana, where a Mooresville police detective took over the case.
The affidavit says that Shockley went to a school counselor on Tuesday and expressed an “obsession” with Cruz. He alleges that he showed the counselor a reliquary who was carrying with a photo of Cruz inside.
Shockley’s house was registered under an arrest warrant on Wednesday, and the law agents discovered a photo collage of three school shooters, says the affidavit.
The police also found magazines for the Rifles AR-15, a .40 caliber bullet box and a soft vest in Shockley’s father’s room, says the affidavit.
The researchers found notebooks in Shockley’s backpack that had swastika in them, as well as the words “Kill”, “Band” and “I Hate You Ally Die Die Die” in them, says the affidavit.
In an extract included in the affidavit dated December 17, it is alleged that Shockley wrote about depression and said he was “relentlessly victim of intimidation.”
An entry last month expressed his desire to hurt others and said that the thoughts “will not stop,” according to the affidavit.
Shockley told the police in an interview that he was “joking” when he said he wanted to “shoot at school” and “would never do something like that,” and denied having had access to his father’s firearm, says the sworn statement .
Shockley told the police that he had a plan and that “I was going to wait for lunch because it was most of the people who left,” he says.
The affidavit alleges that Shockley admitted to having had anger problems and said that he had previously had self -destructs.
The authorities spoke with the school administrators, and a school advisor told the Police that Shockley enrolled in the mental health services on November 12, shortly after his 18th birthday, according to the affidavit.
He says that Shockley expressed his suicidal ideation in the past, but that the counselor did not believe that he required intervention.
The counselor had been working with Shockley since he was a first -year student and believed that his father “did not believe in the mental health treatment” or took his child’s conditions seriously, says the affidavit. Shockley’s father would deny access to mental health resources every time Shockley was looking for them, he alleges that the counselor said.
Shockley’s father could not be contacted to comment on Thursday.
Judicial records show that prosecutors presented a motion to keep Shockley without bail.
The Mooresville school district said in a statement that he realized the potential threat and was grateful for the coordination between the Federal, state and local police.
“The student has been put in custody and will not return to school,” said the district.
The district also encouraged parents and students to communicate with their school offices with any question about mental health resources available to all students.
