In Nashville, only four days following Audrey Hale’s killing of six individuals at the Covenant School, a transgender teenager has been apprehended as authorities claim to have found a declaration outlining her strategy to target three schools and churches in Colorado.
Officials report that she had been a student within the school district she intended to target from 2014 to 2016. On March 31, a 19-year-old named Lilly, also identified as a female in the arrest records, was apprehended.
She also had possession of the manifesto. She said that Donald Trump, the former President, was a “con man.” She also said that Adam Lanza, the shooter at Sandy Hook, was a “smart” person. She referred to Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, the Columbine killers, as “losers.” She also had possession of the Communist Manifesto.
The suspect is being charged in the highest level with two instances of trying to commit murder, vandalism, threatening behavior, and disrupting the activities of staff, faculty, or students in educational institutions.
Police received a report that the individual was displaying aggressive conduct and uttering intimidations, prompting their arrival at Whitworth’s residence, as informed by the suspect’s sibling. Upon reaching the scene, the officers were informed by an individual present at the house that Whitworth was ‘extremely distressed’ and had ’caused damage to a wall by punching it.’
According to a representative from the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, Whitworth is currently undergoing a gender transition from male to female, as reported by the Colorado Springs Gazette.
Whitworth has targeted all of the schools where there is an armed school resource officer from the Colorado Springs Police Department present on campus.
DailyMail.Com has learned that Whitworth’s mother is a registered homeschool educator in the area.
The officers who went to the suspect’s home said that Whitworth was drunk, sitting on her bed, which had brown stained sheets.
Allegedly, it is stated that when questioned about her intentions to carry out a school shooting, she allegedly indicated agreement by nodding her head. When questioned about her motive, Whitworth reportedly responded with the query, “Why does anyone do it?”
Section one of the arrest affidavit states that there were numerous containers of alcoholic beverages scattered around the house, some of which were filled with food that had been partially consumed and many of which had mold growing inside. Upon entering the home, it was difficult to walk inside due to the large amount of trash that had been piled up all around the house.
According to police, she allegedly mentioned Timberview as her ‘primary objective.’ Whitworth stated that she expressed a desire to carry out a shooting at Timberview Middle School, a school she attended in the past, but there was no particular motive mentioned.
She spent a total of nine months in the district school, targeting specifically the period between October 2016 and August 2017 when she attended the school.
Investigators conducted a search of the home and discovered a floor plan inscribed on a dry erase board, alongside Whitworth’s lengthy four-page manifesto and a notebook containing a roster of names.
The suspect allegedly claimed that she had been planning the attack for the past two months. Among the materials recovered by the police were alleged instructions on how to create and detonate a bomb, as well as details on how to print 3D objects and a list of firearms.
The authorities did not find any firearms at the residence but discovered supplies for cleaning firearms.
When questioned by investigators about her mental health, Whitworth allegedly responded: ‘I don’t want to be.’
Authorities discovered a version of The Communist Manifesto authored by Karl Marx and Friedrick Engels amidst Whitworth’s belongings.
Whitworth stated that in her manifesto, there is a section dedicated to various mass murderers, when questioned about her knowledge regarding other shootings.
In that portion, the alleged wrongdoer asserted that the people accountable for the tragic incident at Columbine were ‘unsuccessful’ and that Adam Lanza, the person who committed the dreadful act at Sandy Hook, was ‘smart.’
She also labeled far-right YouTuber Lauren Southern as ‘pathetic’ and left-wing vlogger Vaush as a ‘terrorist’. Whitworth, on the other hand, referred to serial killer Israel Keyes as a ‘degenerate’ and made derogatory comments about law enforcement.
The residence where she was apprehended is a five bedroom dwelling that spreads across approximately 4,000 square feet.
Whitworth is currently detained on a $75,000 bail and will make her initial appearance in court on May 5th.
Three staff members and three students were killed at a Christian school in Nashville, just three days after Audrey Hale, a transgender student, was killed. Plans to harm her were recently uncovered.
Hale unleashed bullets at individuals through entrances and openings, executing the assault by shooting without discrimination, concealing the firearms from their guardians after lawfully purchasing seven armaments in recent times.
Authorities said that she had drawn a detailed map of the school, including potential entry points, before carrying out the massacre and conducting surveillance of the building.
Hale, who is believed to have been living as a trans man named Aiden, did not target the head of the school and three 9-year-olds, including them.
Before the attack at the conference, John Drake, the Chief Police of Nashville Metropolitan, stated that the police were not aware of the undisclosed emotional disorder of Hale and that he was under the care of a doctor.
Drake stated, “However, at present, we possessed absolutely no clue about the identity of this individual or whether (Hale) even truly existed.” ‘In that case, we would have made an effort to obtain those firearms,’ provided that law enforcement had been informed about Hale’s potential for self-destruction or violence.
Colorado has a law on the books that allows guns, which can be confiscated for up to two weeks from individuals who are deemed to pose a significant risk. This law enables the police to take away firearms from people who threaten to kill, while Tennessee currently does not have a “red flag” law.
