Maryland Teen’s Mass Shooting Plot at High School Stopped by Her Parents
by ASSOCIATED PRESS



THURMONT, Md. — An 18-year-old student meticulously planned a mass shooting at her high school in which she intended to die, authorities in Maryland said Monday.

A shotgun, ammunition and bomb-making materials including nails and fireworks were found at Nichole Cevario's home in Thurmont on Thursday, Frederick County Sheriff Charles Jenkins said at a news conference.

. . .

One of the teen's parents notified Catoctin High School officials Thursday of a potential threat of violence and Cevario was removed from the classroom and turned over to investigators, the Frederick County sheriff's office said in a statement. Cevario was later taken from the school to a hospital for an emergency evaluation and remains hospitalized, officials said.

. . .

Cevario's journal "clearly spelled out" detailed plans for an attack she had been working on for some time, including a timeline of the attack with her expectations for each stage, officials said. She had set April 5 as the day of the attack, the sheriff said. She was acquiring the materials and compiling details about school emergency procedures associated with drills conducted by school staff and on the school resource deputy.

who killed a lot of people. His British Christian parents were very surprised. We better round up anyone with similar names and Christian parents just in case.

just in case. For safety. It's a preventative measure. Think of the children. Which is why they didn't find a job in the administration for Rudy Giuliani. Obama's last name ends in a vowel. And Marco Rubio. Think about it.

Good job by the parents to pay attention enough to notice something horribly wrong. Hope she can get enough help to no longer be a danger to others.

Talk about a bad situation. Terrible for the parents. One hopes for a good outcome to someday dim the pain.
