Transgender Colorado woman, 19, is arrested over plot to shoot up THREE schools and churches by cops who found detailed plans and communist manifesto four days after Nashville massacre
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - A transgender teen was arrested after she allegedly plotted to shoot up three of her former schools
- William Whitworth, 19, who goes by Lily Whitworth, was arrested just four days after the recent massacre in Nashville
- Among her possessions, police found a 'kill list' and a copy of The Communist Manifesto
A spokesperson for he 18th Judicial District Attorney's Office told the Colorado Springs Gazette that Whitworth is in the process of transitioning from male to female.
The officers who went to the suspect's home said that Whitworth was drunk, sitting on her bed, which had brown stained sheets.
When asked if she planned to shoot up a school, she responded with a head nod, it is claimed. When asked why she wanted to do it, Whitworth allegedly replied: 'Why does anyone do it?'
'Once entering the home there was trash piled up all around the house to where it made it hard to walk inside. There were numerous containers filled with half eaten food with mold growing inside and numerous alcoholic beverage containers laying around the house,' one section of the arrest affidavit reads.
Whitworth said that there was 'no specific reason' that she wanted to shoot up Timberview Middle School, a school where she was once a student, according to cops. She is said to have referred to Timberview as her 'main target.'
She attended the school between August and October 2016. In total, Whitworth spent just nine months in the school district that she was targeting.
Investigators searched the home and recovered Whitworth's four page rambling manifesto and a floor plan that was written on a dry erase board. Nearby, a notebook with a list of names was recovered.
The suspect said that she had been planning her attack for the past two months, it is claimed. Among her alleged materials that police recovered were details on how to create and detonate bomb, as well as a list of guns and how to 3D print them.
Police did not recover any guns at the home but did find firearm cleaning supplies.
When asked by investigators if she was schizophrenic, Whitworth reportedly answered: 'I hope not.'
