An Indiana teenager has been accused of plotting a school shooting on Valentine’s Day allegedly inspired by the gunman who murdered 17 people at a Parkland, Florida, high school on February 14, 2018, according to police and court records. Trinity Shockley, 18, has been charged with conspiracy to commit murder and two terrorism-related charges, according to Morgan County court records. CNN is trying to determine if Shockley has legal representation. Shockley is charged under the name Trinity but is transgender and prefers to be called Jamie, according to an affidavit obtained by CNN affiliate WISH. It’s unclear which pronouns Shockley uses. Detectives with the Mooresville Metropolitan Police Department received information from the FBI that a person, who authorities later identified as Shockley, was potentially planning a school shooting at Mooresville High School, according to a media release. “Nothing ever happens in Mooresville. It’s a small town,” Mooresville Police Chief Kerry Buckner told CNN affiliate WTHR. “To think somebody was plotting to hurt a lot of individuals of kids, future leaders of this country or whoever is pretty disturbing.”
