Cops in Indiana say they thwarted a Valentine’s Day mass shooting that a teen girl was allegedly plotting at her high school.
Trinity Shockley, 18, was arrested this week within days of police uncovering a plot to shoot up Mooresville High School, located southwest of Indianapolis, authorities said.
Shockley was previously the focus of a Mooresville community fundraiser after she was hit by a drunk driver on her way to school in 2022.

She is being held without bail after being charged with conspiracy to commit murder, threat to commit terrorism and conspiracy to commit intimidation, according to Fox 59.
Shockley was previously the focus of a Mooresville community fundraiser after she was hit by a drunk driver on her way to school.
If successful, the shooting would have fallen on the seventh anniversary of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., which claimed 17 lives in 2018.
Shockley is the daughter of a 19-year US military veteran and was left with head injuries and numerous broken bones after her 2022 accident, a GoFundMe set up by her family at the time showed.
She was unable to walk for days after the accident, which happened when she was just 15, Fox 59 reported at the time.
“She’s outgoing. She just wants to go, go, go. She’s always on the move,” her aunt Angela Altmeyer told the outlet, describing her as a loving and fun girl.
