A mass shooting-obsessed trans teen has admitted to plotting a Valentine’s Day massacre at her Indiana high school.
Trinity Shockley, 18, is set to plead guilty to felony conspiracy to commit murder in return for a maximum of 12.5 years behind bars plus five years of probation, according to the Morgan County Prosecutor’s office.

Shockley — who authorities said identifies as male and goes by the name Jamie, but also uses she/her pronouns, according to 13News — was arrested in February after police received a tip that she had access to an AR-15, had purchased a bullet proof vest, and was obsessed with mass shooters.
When officers searched Shockley’s home, they found a twisted shrine to Parkland Florida mass shooter Nikolas Cruz, and other sick mass shooters.
They also found evidence that Shockley was planning a shooting at her own school — Mooresville High School — and was planning to stage it to coincide with the anniversary of the Parkland shooting.
In addition to jail time and probation, Shockley is also barred from researching school shooters for life – and will be required to download monitoring software on all electronic devices to be kept accountable.
Shockley will be barred from ever owning a gun, and will have to pay for mental health counseling.
The teen is expected to make the guilty plea in court on Nov. 24.
Shockley was apparently suffering from a mental health crisis in the lead up to her arrest, with a guidance counselor reporting the teen had been struggling over the recent overdose death of her mother.
She was also the target of school bullies after she and her father were severely injured in a car accident in 2022, and became the focus of a community fundraiser to help pay for her treatment, according to her family.
But the teen’s grief took a hateful turn, with investigators saying they found journals filled with swastikas and phrases like “I hate you all DIE DIE DIE.”
She’s also become obsessed with mass shooters, gushed about her interest in online chat rooms, and even confided her obsession to a school counselor.
