A transgender high school student in Indiana is accused of planning to kill masses of students on Valentine’s Day – the anniversary of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida.

Trinity J Shockley, 18, is being held in the Morgan County jail in Martinsville, Indiana without bond. Shockley was charged Thursday in Morgan Superior Court 1 with the highest-level felony count of conspiracy to commit murder, and two low-level felony counts of intimidation with a threat to commit terrorism, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.

Shockley identifies as a transgender man and often goes by Jamie or Dex.

The plot to conduct a mass shooting at Mooresville High School was foiled when the FBI in Indianapolis received a tip and contacted the Mooresville Metropolitan Police Department (MMPD) to assess the credibility. In a statement to Fox News Digital, FBI Indianapolis said that the agency “swiftly coordinated” with local officials to investigate.

The driver, Michael Simpson, 35, committed suicide about a year later and before the criminal charges against him were resolved. The detective said Shockley expressed guilt about Simpson’s suicide.

Detectives also noted in court documents that Shockley had sought mental health resources from the school district, but Shockley’s father denied that request. A school official allegedly told investigators that Shockley’s father “did not believe in mental health treatment.”

The superintendent of Mooresville Schools, Jake Allen, said that he is grateful for the “quick response” by local, state and federal law enforcement.

“Through our school staff as well as partnerships with multiple outside agencies, a variety of mental health resources are available to all students of Mooresville Schools,” Allen said in a statement. “We strongly encourage any student or family with questions about resources to reach out to their school office.”

“Our schools should always be a place of safety, learning, and belonging,” he said. “We are committed to doing everything in our power to keep our schools safe. Together, as a community, we will continue to protect and support one another.”

Shockley’s next court appearance was not immediately available on online court records.
