Teenager Allegedly Plots “Parkland Part Two” School Massacre

In Mooresville, Indiana, Trinity Shockley, an 18‑year‑old high school student, was apprehended after reportedly preparing a school massacre for Friday, which would have marked the seventh anniversary of the Parkland shooting. Shockley is accused of planning an attack she referred to as “Parkland part two,” and law enforcement officials say her actions were driven by a fixation with mass shootings, particularly with the crimes committed by Nikolas Cruz.

According to court records, police executed search warrants at Shockley’s residence after receiving information from the FBI regarding the suspected plot. She now faces serious charges, including conspiracy to commit murder and intimidation with a threat to commit terrorism, and remains in a county jail without bond.

Investigators reported that Shockley had expressed her intentions on the messaging platform Discord, even mentioning access to a rifle that could link her to the methods used in previous mass shootings. Her room reportedly exhibited evidence of an obsession with figures such as Nikolas Cruz, neo-Nazi Dylan Roof, and the so-called “YouTube Killer,” with evidence including a collage of mass murderers and a film poster themed around school violence.

Furthermore, in her personal notebook, Shockley signed off an excerpt referencing another notorious mass murderer, though authorities have stated that her primary motivation was her admiration for Cruz. Records indicate she had been planning the attack for over a year and even boasted about her access to a weapon similar to the one used in the Parkland tragedy.

The filings reveal additional troubling details about her personal life, including her repeated requests for mental health support during her time at school—requests that were allegedly denied by her father, who was skeptical of mental health treatment.
