Mass Shooting Adverted!

An angry evil woman. An Indiana woman wanted to shoot up her school in honor of the Parkland mass shooter.

Being picked on can trigger a violent reaction.

Hence Trinity Schockley. A woman from Indiana who could have carried out another mass shooting at a school. I will not call her a teen.

The 18 year old woman was arrested after she made threats to shoot up her high school in similarity to the Marjorie Douglass Stoneman High School tragedy.

That happened on this day in 2018. President Donald J. Trump offered tepid condolences to the victims. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis pushed for more draconian laws to make schools more like prisons. The shooter ended up facing state and federal charges.

It also sparked the March for Our Lives movement. It also gave rise to David Hogg, Cam Kasky,  X Emma González, Aalayah Eastmond, Jaclyn Corin and Ryan Deitsch.

Kyle Kashuv, a survivor of the shooting became the favorite of the far right. He criticized the movement and it's leaders. He also pushed for more firearms in schools.

The movement managed to bankrupt the NRA. It forced the closure of NRA TV.

It drove Dan Bongino, Dana Loesch and Wayne LaPierre into become irrelevant.

They still exist but they have no powers.

Gun violence continues to be a big big problem in the United States. 

Sometimes, it may take a major issue like..... well Trump was shot at. Gabby Giffords was shot. Steve Scalise was shot. Not even those incidents changed the narrative.

Schockly survived a car accident and her school at one time rallied for her. She was seriously injured and had permanent injuries which affected her speech and movement.

Police said the driver, 35-year-old Michael Simpson, stayed at the scene on Indiana Street just south of County Line Road. He was taken to a hospital for a blood draw before being arrested for operating while intoxicated causing serious bodily injury.

But even finding love was troubling. I am not sympathizing with her. I am pretty much trying to get to the root of why a woman who survived death now wants to inflict death on her fellow classmates.

Apparently her breakup with her girlfriend led to this.

The Mooresville Metropolitan Police Department received information around 7 p.m. Feb. 11 from the FBI about someone who was potentially planning a school shooting on Feb. 14, 2025.

Mooresville Police honor a woman who survived a car accident. The same officers had to arrest her for threatening to commit a mass shooting.

During the department's investigation, officers identified the person of interest as Trinity Shockley, of Mooresville. Court documents say Trinity is transgender, going by the name Jamie.

According to court documents, someone called the FBI's Sandy Hook Promise's Say Something Anonymous Reporting System that their friend is planning a shooting in Indiana on Feb. 14. The tipster said the suspect has access to an AR-15 and ordered a bulletproof vest.

And before anyone says maybe the drunk driver should have put her out of her misery.... I just have to think that she was bullied for being:

  • A member of the LGBTQ community in a conservative town.
  • A disabled American who faced an upheaval since the accident.
  • A woman (or transman) who had mental health issues.
  • A family who likely voted for President Donald J. Trump and allowed firearms to be readily available for anyone to obtained.
  • Or all of these above.

Court documents say Shockley sent the following messages to people on the social media platform Discord:

  • "I've been planning this for a YEAR"
  • "Parkland part two," referring to the Florida school shooting carried out by Nikolas Cruz, who killed 14 students and three staff members on Feb. 14, 2018
  • Photo of 10 AR-15 magazines
  • "I'm buying a bulletproof vest."
  • "4 More days" — posted on Feb. 10, 2025
  • "I have THIS staring at me," along with a photo of Dylan Roof, who shot and killed nine people at a South Carolina church in June 2015

According to court documents, Shockley spoke with a school counselor on Feb. 11. Shockley allegedly told the counselor that Shockley has written multiple letters to Cruz while he's been in prison. Shockley also allegedly has a heart locket necklace with a photo of Cruz inside.

On Wednesday, Feb. 12, Mooresville police detectives, along with detectives from the Morgan County Sheriff's Office and officers from the Mooresville School Police, executed search warrants at Shockley's home.

According to court documents, detectives found multiple photos of Roof, Cruz and Andrew Blaze – who killed three co-workers at a Pennsylvania supermarket in June 2017 – in Shockley's bedroom.

Court documents say detectives found AR-15 magazines and a box of .40 caliber rounds in Shockley's father's bedroom.

Detectives said they also found three notebooks in Shockley's backpack, along with the following excerpts: 

  • "I want to be just like Elliot Rodger" — who killed six people and injured more in California in May 2014
  • "I want to hurt others."
  • "I hate you all DIE DIE DIE!!"
  • "I miss Ethan (Crumbley). We were the same, born 2006, same eyes. Boom!" — who shot and killed four students at a Michigan high school in 2021
  • "I want to hurt others."
  • "Becoming the worst version of myself hurts but this needs to be done."
  • "I love you Nikolas (Cruz)."
  • "Why can't Nikolas (Cruz) be mine? I need him in my life."

Shockley then spoke with a detective at the Mooresville Police Department, where Shockley allegedly said Shockley was "joking" and "would never do that and does not have access to a gun."

Shockley allegedly told the detective that Shockley "now wants to be a gun activist to help people get out of that mindset."

The junk food media wants to make white criminals look like innocent victims.

According to court documents, Shockley also claimed Shockley was bullied because of the crash Shockley was involved in in September 2022, hit by an alleged drunk driver, Michael Simpson, while crossing the road to get to the school bus.

Following the interview with the detective, officers arrested Shockley and took Shockley to the Morgan County Jail, where Shockley is being held without bond.

The Morgan County Prosecutor's Office filed the following charges against Shockley: 

  • One count of conspiracy to commit murder
  • Two counts of intimidation, threat to commit terrorism

Detectives also spoke with school officials, as the head of mental health for the district allegedly said Shockley sought mental health resources multiple times since Shockley was a freshman. However, the official said Shockley's father denied Shockley's access to the resources, with the official saying Shockley's father "did not believe in mental health treatment and did not take (Shockley's) conditions seriously," according to court documents.

"Nothing ever happens in Mooresville. It's a small town. To think nothing ever happens in Mooresville it's a small town. To think somebody was plotting to hurt a lot of individuals of kids, future leaders of this country or whoever is pretty disturbing," said Mooresville Police Chief Kerry Buckner.

Aaron Wilson has two kids who attend Mooresville High School. He said he wishes the school would have alerted parents earlier. His daughter shares a lunch period with Shockley. He said he's focusing on being thankful for the person who reported it.

"Whether she intended to carry it out or not, they weren't willing to take that risk and I'm very thankful for them doing so," said Wilson.

"I feel safer now that she's not here, but then again, the threat of someone else doing it or someone who has the same ideas of hers. That's always a fear going to school, " said student Hadley Miller.

Mooresville Schools shared the following statement with 13News: 

"The Mooresville Schools Police Department and Mooresville Schools district administration have been made aware of a situation in which a high school student made threatening statements on an online platform. The student has been placed in custody and will not return to the school. District personnel are thankful for the cooperation of local, state, and federal law enforcement officials, who continue to thoroughly investigate this situation. 

As always, mental health resources are available to all students of Mooresville Schools. Families and students are encouraged to contact their school office with any questions.

Additional questions regarding the specific situation should be directed to the Mooresville Metropolitan Police Department."

Mooresville High School has extra police presence after woman threatened to shoot up the school.

Additionally, the FBI Indianapolis also shared the following statement:

"FBI Indianapolis received a tip regarding a potential school shooting threat targeting Mooresville High School for Friday, February 14. FBI agents swiftly coordinated with the Mooresville Metropolitan Police Department (MMPD) to assess the credibility of the threat. Investigators successfully identified the individual, ensuring a rapid and coordinated response to mitigate any potential risk to the community."

Gun violence is the number one threat in the United States.

I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals are the problem, not the guns. Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases and are often left out for anyone to obtain. So miss me with the bullshit. 

Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem. The problem is legislators not willing to stop gun violence.

According to the far rightWhite shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant thugs and criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. According to the far right, almost all white [or non-white] mass shooters are registered Democrats [or some progressive activist] because they have liked or done one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share or post disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme or make bogus social media platforms with the shooter's image as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white or associated with conservative causes. The far right says a white person should "protect" themselves from thugs, terrorists or protesters. They believe the use of firearms are "justified" if they are protesting or even instigating a conflict. The far right believes if a shooter is a police officer, an active military member, a veteran or a citizen who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens in urban communities, the far right automatically assumes the gunmen are Black.

The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican legislators who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms. 

The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those police officers who were killed in the line of duty. Those victims who don't get their names or accomplishments mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence. We are tracking police violence and school shootings as well. 

Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (Lifeline) at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or 988, or text the Crisis Text Line (text HELLO to 741741). Both services are free and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The deaf and hard of hearing can contact the Lifeline via TTY at 1-800-799-4889. All calls are confidential. Contact social media outlets directly if you are concerned about a friend's social media updates or dial 911 in an emergency. Learn more on the Lifeline's website or the Crisis Text Line's website.

The call number to the White House and US Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414. This is the Congress official phone number, 202-224-3121. Please be respectful to operators, staff members and elected leaders. Your calls are monitored by the US Secret Service and US Capitol Police. 

Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-Semitic or in support of terrorism. 

We have bigger issues at home and our tax dollars should solve the housing crisis, lowering food prices, fixing roads, bridges, helping reinvest in struggling urban and rural communities. We have hospitals closing, big box retailers leaving communities and television programs dying. There are bigger issues in the country than Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and legislators avoid influence from lobbyists.
