MOORESVILLE, Ind. An 18-year-old Mooresville High School student who had a collage of mass shooters in the student's bedroom was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly planning a school shooting on Valentine's Day.
According to court documents recently filed in Morgan County by the Mooresville Metropolitan Police Department, Trinity Shockley was arrested on the following charges:
- One count of conspiracy to commit murder, a Level 1 felony
- One count of intimidation: threat to commit terrorism, a Level 5 felony
- One count of conspiracy to commit intimidation: threat to commit terrorism, a Level 5 felony
On Tuesday evening, law enforcement received a tip about a planned school shooting at Mooresville High School. A person of interest was later identified as Shockley, a news release from the department said.
The release said that detectives with the department, along with officials from the Morgan County Sheriff's Office and Mooresville School Police, executed search warrants at Shockley's home and took Shockley into custody....
After an investigation, authorities found archives of Shockley's Discord and Snapchat accounts which included conversations about planning a school shooting. On Discord, Shockley's username was reportedly "Crazy Nikolaz."
In one message on Snapchat, Shockley who identified in the messages as a 12th grade transgender person named Jamie said in January that the shooting would be "Parkland part two" and that Shockley had been planning this for a year.
Law enforcement reportedly seized a number of notebooks from Shockley's room. The notebooks allegedly included several passages including one where Shockley identified as "Dex… a transgender male (who has) a lot of homicidal thoughts."
"These thoughts never seem to stop, you may believe that I am some edgelord, but in reality, I am just a loser," Shockley reportedly said in an entry dated Dec. 16, 2024. "I am grateful for my chance to live but in reality, I am scared of living. Is it the government you ask? No. It is this sad reality of living with piece(s) of s-… I hope whoever reads this takes acknowledgment and maybe use it for your massacre."
In other entries from January, Shockley wrote about wanting to hurt others and said people need to be "killed" and "wiped away from humanity." Shockley also expressed love for Cruz, comparing him to a popular indie pop artist.
