Law enforcement has prevented a transgender terrorist from committing two school shootings in Maryland.
The transgender pretender teen, a biological female, had written a 129-page document explaining what she wanted to do and had also chatted online about it in the past.
One school Andrea Ye wanted to shoot up was an elementary school and the other a high school.
Here’s more from the New York Post:
A transgender Maryland teenager has been arrested for allegedly planning a mass shooting at two schools in a twisted effort to become “famous.”
Alex Ye, 18, of Rockville, whose legal name is Andrea, was arrested Wednesday and charged with threatening mass violence after allegedly authoring the 129-page document the suspect referred to as a “memoir,” according to ABC News.
Authorities said the writing was about committing mass shootings at Wootton High School, which Ye had attended online, and at Lakewood Elementary School.
Ye allegedly told his former school counselor that he wanted to become “famous from this event,” according to the outlet.
The student had claimed the memoir was a work of fiction — which included a disclaimer that it doesn’t “represent the author’s beliefs” — but a person with whom the student shared the document alerted authorities because it bore “striking similarities” to the writer.
The witness believed Ye — who is biologically female though identifies as male — was prepared to carry out the attacks shortly, according to the news outlet.
“I want to shoot up a school. I’ve been preparing for months. The gun is an AR-15. This gun is going to change lives tomorrow … As I walk through the hallways, I cherry pick the classrooms that are the easiest targets,” Ye allegedly wrote, WBAL-TV reported.
“I need to figure out how to sneak the gun in. I have contemplated making bombs. The instructions to make them are surprisingly available online. I have also considered shooting up my former elementary school because little kids make easier targets,” the student allegedly continued.
“High school’s the best target; I’m the most familiar with the layout. I pace around my room like an evil mastermind. I’ve put so much effort into this. My ultimate goal would be to set the world record for the most amount of kills in a shooting. If I have time, I’ll try to decapitate my victims with a knife to turn the injuries into deaths,” the screed allegedly says.
Chat records allegedly show the suspect discussing thoughts of shooting up his school with another person in September.
“My homicidal ideation has been getting worse lately to the point I might act on it eventually,” Ye allegedly wrote in December.
“I’d want to kill a lot of people or it wouldn’t be worth it,” the suspect said in another message that month, according to officials.
The Post reports there are no allegations that Ye actually had the AR-15 in her possession.
