An Indiana high school student has been accused of plotting a mass shooting at a school near Indianapolis on Valentine's Day, local police said Thursday. Mooresville Metropolitan Police detectives received information from the FBI about 7 p.m. Tuesday regarding a person who was potentially planning a school shooting at Mooresville High School.

During their investigation, investigators learned that Shockley planned a mass shooting at Mooresville High School on Friday, police said. On Thursday, the Morgan County Prosecutor's Office filed charges against Shockley for conspiracy to commit murder and intimidation: threat to commit terrorism.The suspect's father was in possession of AR-15 magazines, guns and an armor vest, but they were not kept in the house, police said. The suspect claimed in a Discord chat that the shooting would be 'Parkland part two,' and the original tip came in to the Sandy Hook Tip Line. Shockley told investigators they were 'joking,' but then stated they would take their friend who was their crush, and 'wanted them to die together.' 'Trinity's motivation for making the plan is Cruz. She wanted to prove that she is his number one fan. Trinity has an emotional attachment to Cruz,' according to a court filing. Court documents also say that Shockley 'has sought mental health resources' since 'she was a freshman,' but each time, their father Timothy Shockley would deny access to those resources because he didn't believe in it. 'Each time Trinity would try to receive mental health assistance, her father, Timothy Shockley, would deny her the access to the resources,' according to court records. 'Mr. Shockley did not believe in mental health treatment and did not take his daughter's conditions seriously. On November 12th, 2024, two weeks after her 18th birthday, Trinity signed herself up for mental health assistance.'
