Description
An 18-year-old from Mooresville is facing charges for allegedly planning a mass school shooting at Mooresville High School.
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.
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 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.
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.
