Tom,

We've had several schools on lockdown.. the following the most serious.. We
as citizens need to be on high alert for anything out of the norm in our
communities... At least this girl's father had the presence of mind to
trigger lock his guns, as well as put them in a safe.

Maricopa County Sheriff's deputies say they've arrested a 16-year-old girl
who had a detailed plot to gun down students at her Mesa high school and
then kill herself.

MCSO said she made the threats on a transgender community YouTube channel
that said, in part, "I now literally have a plan of seriously hurting ...
killing ... murdering people in my highschool. And a playlist to do it."

MCSO said they were notified of the post by the Toronto Police Department
in Canada late Wednesday night after the owner of the website contacted
Toronto police.


The 16-year-old student, who also serves as a student aid at Red Mountain
High School, was arrested Thursday morning at her Mesa home.

Sheriff's detectives said according to her interview, she was scared
because she thought she may carry out the plans detailed in the post and
"(explicit) kill everyone."

The girl also admitted to detectives that she had thought about the
killings for a while and was planning to "cut the wires to the security
carts" on campus to slow down the response during an explosion and shoot
people from the other side of a fence.

Authorities found three handguns in her home, including a semi-automatic
.40 caliber, a .357 revolver and a .22 revolver.

The girl's parents told detectives that she has a history of mental health
issues, has been seen by a psychiatrist and had recently been asking about
where the guns were being kept in the house. The girl's father said he was
alarmed by the comments and placed trigger locks on each gun and put them
in a gun safe.

The girl is currently being charged as a juvenile for one count of computer
tampering and one count of threatening and intimidating. Detectives
continue to investigate and say additional charges are possible.

MCSO said at this time they do not believe the school was in "imminent
danger."

Red Mountain High School plans to conduct final exams on Friday as
scheduled, with an increased presence of security on campus.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio said the threats are not related to last Friday's
shooting in Connecticut. Arpaio said the threats were made a week before
the mass shooting.
