A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transgender</a>-identifying teenager who was taken into custody and charged for alleged plans to commit a mass shooting at a Maryland high school kept a &#8220;manifesto&#8221; in which she praised the Nashville mass shooter, fantasized about pedophilia, and voiced concerns about being misgendered after her crime, according to court documents obtained by The Daily Wire.
The thwarted shooter, an 18-year-old woman from Rockville who identifies as a man, was arrested on Wednesday by the Montgomery County Police Department (MCPD), the county said in a <a href="https://www2.montgomerycountymd.gov/mcgportalapps/Press_Detail_Pol.aspx?Item_ID=45100" target="_blank" rel="noopener">news release</a>, adding that the FBI notified the MCPD about a 129-page &#8220;manifesto&#8221; in which the teenager wrote about committing a school shooting, contemplated targeting an elementary school, and more.
The <a href="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/04/moco-docs.pdf">court documents</a> obtained by The Daily Wire show disturbing examples from the &#8220;manifesto,&#8221; which the teenager claimed was fictional, but an MCPD officer said had mirrored actual events and was &#8220;based on reality with a plan of threats of mass violence.&#8221;
&#8220;I really want to be famous. Even infamous,&#8221; she wrote on one page. A second entry confesses to pedophilic thoughts, but says she chose not to act on them — &#8220;I sometimes think I&#8217;m a pedophile. I get turned on by little kids,&#8221; she wrote. In a third, the teenager mused about potential news stories about a shooting at a Rockville school.
The court documents show that the teenager did web search on various mass shootings, including on the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nashville-police-say-ongoing-investigation-prevents-release-of-covenant-shooters-manifesto" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transgender-identifying shooter</a> who murdered six people at the Covenant School in Nashville in March of 2023.
The suspect appears to have been inspired by the Covenant School mass shooting. Media calling the now-dead Nashville shooter by birth name rather than preferred name made the arrested teenager want to change her name, the Maryland teenager wrote in the manifesto.
&#8220;Makes me want to change my name legally before I commit a shooting to make sure the news doesn&#8217;t misgender me,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;He was suicidal before the shooting. Just like me. He, too, wanted to kill little kids. A rush of adrenaline fills my body. He&#8217;s so relatable.&#8221;
As a result of the investigation, the MCPD&#8217;s Community Engagement Division coordinated with Montgomery County Public Schools to increase security at schools, particularly Wootton High School, police said.
The Maryland suspect was hospitalized in December 2022 after threatening to &#8220;shoot up a school,&#8221; and has not attended school in-person since then, the charging documents say. She spent time hospitalized for homicidal and suicidal ideations, but later returned home and attended school online, the documents show.
She was hospitalized again last month after she shared her manifesto with a fellow patient at a prior hospitalization, and that friend reported it to police. Hospital staff &#8220;felt they were required by law to break confidentiality to notify law enforcement and Wootton High School. The FBI was also notified,&#8221; the documents say, adding that she &#8220;has previously disclosed to psychiatric staff during his in-patient treatment that he had thoughts of a mass attack at his elementary school and high school.&#8221;
The police affidavit refers to the suspect with male pronouns.
A Wootton High School counselor told the FBI that she worked with the suspect from October 2022 through February 2023 and that the suspect &#8220;would express violent thoughts such as shooting up the school.&#8221; The suspect suggested it could occur at graduation.
Chat logs on Instagram, which police received as a result of a search warrant, showed messages that indicated a desire by the suspect to commit a shooting or bomb a school, the affidavit also shows.
The teenager is currently being held at the Montgomery County Central Processing Unit where she awaits a bond hearing, the release from police noted, adding that a news conference is being planned for Friday. The Daily Wire is not naming the suspect due to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/standards-policies">our policy</a> against printing the names or photographs of mass shooters in our reports.
Police made clear that the suspected teen is a biological female who was going by male pronouns. The legal system is treating her as an Asian female, authorities said.
Online court records showed the suspect has an attorney. The Daily Wire reached out seeking comment. A bail/bond review is scheduled for Friday and a trial is slated for June 3.

The man who killed 18 people in Maine late last year had significant brain damage that likely played a role in his shooting rampage, according to experts who have analyzed his brain post-mortem.
The man, who The Daily Wire is not naming due to company policy about not giving notoriety to mass killers, had brain damage that is consistent with what experts see in military veterans who have had prolonged exposure to explosive blasts.
The man was a U.S. Army reservist and a longtime instructor at an Army hand grenade training range where he was exposed to more than 10,000 grenade blasts, according to a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/06/us/maine-shooting-brain-injury.html?unlocked_article_code=1.a00.RX0e.C6D3KZi-6yUO&amp;smid=nytcore-ios-share&amp;referringSource=articleShare">report</a> from The New York Times.
The Maine Chief Medical Examiner’s office requested the Boston University CTE Center conduct the post-mortem study of the man’s brain.
“[The man] had evidence of traumatic brain injury,&#8221; <a href="https://concussionfoundation.org/news/press-release/family-of-Robert-Card-II-releases-findings-of-his-brain-tissue-analysis-in-effort-to-prevent-future-tragedies">said</a> Doctor Ann McKee. &#8220;In the white matter, the nerve fibers that allow for communication between different areas of the brain, there was significant degeneration, axonal and myelin loss, inflammation, and small blood vessel injury. There was no evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).&#8221;
&#8220;These findings align with our previous studies on the effects of blast injury in humans and experimental models,&#8221; she added. &#8220;While I cannot say with certainty that these pathological findings underlie [his] behavioral changes in the last 10 months of life, based on our previous work, brain injury likely played a role in his symptoms.&#8221;
The man began losing his hearing in 2022 and, with it, reportedly developed a hot temper. He started to lose weight rapidly and believed that people at places he liked to go to were talking about him behind his back and calling him a pedophile.
The family said in a statement that was published by the Concussion Legacy Foundation that they were &#8220;deeply sorry and heartbroken&#8221; for the victims and their families. The family said that the results from the test are not &#8220;an excuse for the horrific suffering he caused, but we thank Dr. McKee for helping us understand his brain damage and how it may have impacted his mental health and behavior.&#8221;
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
&#8220;By releasing these findings, we hope to raise awareness of traumatic brain injury among military service members, and we encourage more research and support for military service members with traumatic brain injuries,&#8221; they added.

One of the two adults charged with second-degree murder in the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade shooting has been released from the hospital and was booked at the Jackson County Detention Center.
The 23-year-old black male, who will not be named per Daily Wire policy, was treated for gunshot wounds. He is accused of starting an argument with a group of people during the parade last week before he pulled out a gun and began firing, <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/707190414/Chiefs-rally-shooting-charging-documents#from_embed">according to charging documents</a>. People in the group arguing with the suspect then allegedly pulled out guns and shot back. An adult male from the group that was allegedly shooting back has also been charged with second-degree murder. 
Police believe a bullet from the second suspect’s gun struck and killed 43-year-old mother Lisa Lopez-Galvan. 
The murder suspect who has been released from the hospital has a bandage on the right side of his face in his <a href="https://komonews.com/news/nation-world/kansas-city-parade-shooting-tragedy-suspect-released-from-hospital-admits-regret-kc-shooting-lyndell-mays-dominic-miller-lisa-lopez-galvan-jackson-county" target="_blank" rel="noopener">booking photo</a>. According to court documents, the suspect pulled out his gun and began chasing someone before shooting at him. The 23-year-old man told investigators he was “just being stupid,” court documents stated. 
&#8220;Stupid, man. Just pulled a gun out and started shooting,” he said, according to the documents. “I shouldn&#8217;t have done that. Just being stupid.” 
The family of the suspect created a GoFundMe for him while he was in the hospital, saying that he needed help getting through a &#8220;tragic time&#8221; following the shooting, The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/02/21/us-news/family-of-kansas-city-shooting-suspect-set-up-gofundme-for-him/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. The fundraiser reportedly raised $100, but it has since been deleted.
Missouri prosecutors announced on Tuesday that two adult males were arrested and charged with murder in the Super Bowl parade shooting where one person was killed and 22 others were injured. Each of the male adults is charged with second-degree murder, two counts of armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon, according to Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker. Both suspects are being held on $1 million bond. Two juveniles also face gun-related and resisting arrest charges in the shooting. 
Baker added on Tuesday that others who were involved in the shooting would be held accountable.

&#8220;We seek to hold every shooter accountable for their actions on that day. Every single one,&#8221; the prosecutor said. &#8220;So while we’re not there yet on every single individual, we’re going to get there.&#8221;

A Kansas City Chiefs fan is looking to set the record straight after photos of him in handcuffs spread on social media following the shooting at the team’s Super Bowl parade last week.
Denton Loudermill of Olathe, Kansas, addressed the public with LaRonna Lassiter Saunders, a lawyer advocating on his behalf, in a press conference that was posted to social media over the weekend, KSHB <a href="https://www.kshb.com/news/local-news/parade-shooting/lets-let-the-truth-go-viral-olathe-man-wants-to-clear-name-after-being-wrongly-identified-as-rally-shooter">reported</a>. The father of three and Saunders allege that “misinformation” spread online accusing Loudermill of being a gunman behind the Kansas City mass shooting. 
&#8220;I just want to clear my name that I had nothing to do with anything,&#8221; Loudermill said, adding, &#8220;I was just enjoying myself like everybody else, but other than that, I was out there not to harm anybody. I was just enjoying the parade like everybody else.&#8221;
Pictures of Loudermill in handcuffs spread on social media after the shooting, with some posts even <a href="https://twitter.com/redsteeze/status/1758215011913118073" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claiming</a> that the Kansas native is an illegal immigrant. Saunders said during the press conference that Loudermill was detained after having “several drinks” and was then released by police without a citation. 
“Mr. Denton had several drinks, but so did a half million other people, including some of the Chiefs players,” Saunders said. “It&#8217;s not a crime. It doesn&#8217;t make you a mass shooter.” 
“Mr. Denton has received death threats over a lie, over misinformation,” Saunders added. “He didn’t do anything wrong. He did not commit a crime. So please, run, tell that. Get the truth out there. Help us clear his name. Help us save his life.”

The Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department told KSHB, “There were many people detained at one time or another on Wednesday.” 
“Some of the detainments could result in future charges unrelated to the shooting. No one who is believed to be involved in the shooting has been released,” the police department added.

Authorities are holding two juveniles, who remain unidentified, on gun-related and resisting arrest charges in connection to the shooting. One person was killed, and more than 20 people, including 11 children, were injured. Police identified Lisa Lopez-Galvan as the victim who died from her gunshot wounds. Lopez-Galvan was a DJ for a Kansas City radio station and the mother of two children.  
Saunders said that she and Loudermill want the attention following the shooting to be on pursuing justice for Lopez-Galvan and her family. 
&#8220;We want to focus on how great of a person she was and not spend our time letting lies, and misinformation, and bigotry and hatred spread,&#8221; she said.

Kansas Man Speaks Out After He Was Wrongly Accused Of Being Suspected KC Parade Shooter: ‘I Just Want To Clear My Name’

false accusations

Kansas City, Missouri, Democratic Mayor Quinton Lucas condemned his Republican governor’s description of the Kansas City parade shooting suspects, arguing that calling them “thugs” is a racial “dog whistle.” 
After the shooting at the Chiefs Super Bowl celebration that killed one person and injured more than 20 others — including 11 children — last week, Governor Mike Parson (R-MO) said, “We can’t let some thugs and criminals take over and ruin what happened.” 
“It’s just sad. I was there yesterday. I feel for these parents, these kids, everything that went on, it was such a wonderful day and then all of a sudden you end with that,” Parson added. 
During an appearance on the KCUR radio show &#8220;Up to Date&#8221; on Friday, Lucas said he strongly disagreed with Parson’s description of the suspects, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/kansas-city-mayor-accuses-governor-racial-dog-whistle-calling-super-bowl-parade-shooters-thugs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. 
&#8220;I have respect for the governor. We get along well,&#8221; Lucas said. &#8220;I disagree strongly with how he would describe that situation. I certainly do think this was criminal activity. It was lawlessness, and I think that that&#8217;s troubling. But ‘thugs’ is a dog whistle in the most classic sense.&#8221;
Lucas, who is black, then slammed “conservative” theories on social media, alleging that authorities and the media are keeping the suspects’ identities under wraps because they are black. 
&#8220;I&#8217;ve seen this dog whistle time and again,” the mayor added. “There&#8217;s this kind of giant conservative theory on social media now that the reason these mug shots haven&#8217;t been shown is because the purported defendants are black, and if it were a white defendant we would have just shown them. That is absolutely preposterous. There are protections to juveniles.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
That theory was also suggested by conservative commentator Ann Coulter, who said on “Real Time with Bill Maher” last week that “if it were a white man shooting, we’d know.”

“The longer they go without telling you, it’s not a white male,” Coulter added, an argument to which Maher pushed back. 
“For right now, as of Friday night, February 16, we don’t officially know,” Maher said. “Ok, you know because you have special powers.”

Taylor Swift donated $100,000 to the family of the woman who was killed during a Wednesday <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mass-shooting">mass shooting</a> at the celebratory parade for the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a>’ Super Bowl win.
The “Elizabeth Lopez-Galvan Memorial” GoFundMe page was set up Thursday afternoon with a goal of raising $75,000 for the victim’s family. Lopez-Galvan, 44, was killed after being struck in her abdomen by a gunshot at the parade. She was a wedding DJ and also co-hosted a radio program in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kansas-city">Kansas City</a>, per <a href="https://variety.com/2024/music/news/taylor-swift-donation-gofundme-victim-killed-chiefs-parade-1235913423/">Variety</a>. 
Around 1,300 people had already donated when Swift made two $50,000 donations in the early morning hours on Friday. The Grammy Award-winning singer is currently on a tour stop in Australia.
“Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences in the wake of your devastating loss. With love, Taylor Swift,” Swift wrote in a note accompanying the donations. Her rep confirmed to the outlet that the donations are real.
“This fund has been set up to benefit the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan,” the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/gofundme">GoFundMe</a> page <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/elizabeth-lopezgalvan-memorial">said</a>. 
“Lisa was celebrating the Chiefs’ Super Bowl Victory parade when senselessly killed. She is survived by two children and her husband of 22 years. She was an amazing mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend to so many. We ask that you continue to keep her family in your prayers as we grieve the loss of her life. This fund will help provide vital financial support to her family as they process this unthinkable tragedy. Any amount is appreciated.”
Thanks to Swift’s donations and the resulting attention to the GoFundMe request, the fund was up to just over $197,000 as of Friday morning. 
Multiple people were shot, including eleven children between the ages of 6 and 15, and Lopez-Galvan was killed when gunfire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/victim-in-kc-super-bowl-parade-shooting-identified-as-radio-dj-mom-of-2">erupted</a> at the parade.

Several parade attendees bravely tackled one of the suspected shooters during the event, holding the man on the ground for about 30 seconds until law enforcement arrived. The names and motives of the suspects have not yet been released.

The shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade on Wednesday that killed one person and injured more than 20 others appeared to stem from a personal dispute and had no connection to terrorism, according to the Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department.
Gunfire erupted near Union Station downtown during the parade, causing mass panic as many people ran and ducked for cover. KC Police Chief Stacey Graves said at a news conference on Thursday that authorities’ initial findings “have shown there was no nexus to terrorism or homegrown violent extremism.”
“This appeared to be a dispute between several people that ended in gunfire,” she said.
Graves added that authorities learned overnight that there were 23 victims of Wednesday’s shooting. The police chief also confirmed that 43-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/victim-in-kc-super-bowl-parade-shooting-identified-as-radio-dj-mom-of-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lisa Lopez-Galvan</a> died from gunshot wounds.
“We are still learning about her, but know that she is beloved by many,” Graves said. “To her friends and family, we are with you, and we are working tirelessly to investigate her murder.”
At least half of the Kansas City shooting victims were under 16 years old, with the youngest being eight, according to Graves.
“As mentioned yesterday, we have subjects detained, two of which are juveniles,” she added. “We are working to determine the involvement of others.”

Police have detained three people following the shooting along with recovering firearms, but are asking for more witnesses to come forward with information as they continue to investigate. Authorities have not publicly identified any suspects as of Thursday afternoon.
More than 800 law enforcement officers were in and around Union Station when the shots rang out. Video posted on social media showed multiple parade goers tackling a man who was running through the crowd immediately after the shooting. The bystanders pinned the man down for around 30 seconds before police officers arrived. One witness also said she saw a gun fall away from the man as he was tackled to the ground.
Graves said it remains unclear if the man tackled in the viral video is “one of the three” people detained by authorities.

Victim In KC Super Bowl Parade Shooting Identified As Radio DJ, Mom Of 2

Two of the men who moved to tackle an alleged shooter at Wednesday&#8217;s Super Bowl festivities in Kansas City spoke out on Thursday, saying that when they heard someone call for help, they &#8220;didn&#8217;t hesitate.&#8221;
Paul Contreras said that he first jumped into action when he heard someone else in the crowd calling for someone to stop a man who appeared to be trying to run away. &#8220;I&#8217;m right here and I just — I didn&#8217;t think about it, a reaction, I didn&#8217;t hesitate, it was just do it. So I went to go tackle him and another gentleman did the same thing.&#8221;

&#8220;He got close to me, I got the right angle on him, and I hit him from behind. And when I hit him from behind, I either jarred the gun out of his hand or out of his sleeve because as I’m taking him down to the ground, I saw the gun on the ground,&#8221; Contreras continued, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/02/15/us-news/alleged-kansas-city-shooter-was-fighting-the-whole-time/">reported</a>.
The alleged gunman kept fighting to get back up, Contreras said, but he and the other bystanders who jumped in to help were able to hold him down.
Trey Filter of Wichita, Kansas, was another who sprang into action when he heard calls for help. He told the hosts of &#8220;Good Morning America&#8221; on Thursday that initially he had just been hoping that the person he had tackled was the right person.

&#8220;There was a lot of commotion, I could definitely tell that someone was being chased,&#8221; Filter explained. &#8220;Couldn’t see much but heard &#8216;Get him,&#8217; saw a flash next to me and I remember I jumped and remember thinking, &#8216;I hope this is who they were talking about.'&#8221;

&#8220;We were pretty elated once we knew we had him. They started yelling, &#8216;There’s a gun, there’s a gun,&#8217; so we were pretty steadfast in holding him down there,&#8221; he added.

Two Heroes Who Tackled Suspected KC Shooter Speak Out: ‘I Didn’t Hesitate, It Was Just Do It’

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/parents-of-michigan-school-shooter-face-unprecedented-trial-after-state-supreme-court-denies-appeal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mother of the teenager</a> who gunned down four Oxford, Michigan, high school students in November 2021 was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter on Tuesday. She becomes the first parent in U.S. history to be convicted of crimes related to a mass school shooting carried out by her child.
The mother — who, along with her husband and son, will not be named per Daily Wire policy — was convicted of four counts of involuntary manslaughter in the deaths of Oxford High School students Madisyn Baldwin, 17; Tate Myre, 16; Hana St. Juliana, 14; and Justin Shilling, 17, The Detroit Free Press <a href="https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/oakland/2024/02/06/jennifer-crumbley-guilty-verdict-jury-oxford-high-shooting/72473790007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. The jury began deliberations on Monday and continued for 11 hours before reaching its verdict, according to <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/jury-reaches-verdict-jennifer-crumbley-manslaughter-trial/story?id=106924349" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ABC News</a>.
“I feel most of all that the cries have been heard and I feel that this verdict is going to echo throughout every household in the country,” said Craig Shilling, whose son Justin was killed in the shooting.
“We all have work now. We all know that we are to be held responsible for anything that we do,” he added.
Prosecutors argued throughout the trial that the parents failed to give their troubled son the mental health help he needed. His father also bought his son, who was 15 at the time, a 9mm handgun that he used in the deadly shooting just four days later. The shooter’s father, who is also charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, faces a separate trial in March.
On the morning before the shooter’s rampage, school officials called his parents to the school after discovering violent pictures that their son had drawn on a school assignment. The school administrators reportedly encouraged the parents to take their son home and find him mental health help right away.
The shooter’s parents said they couldn’t take him home since they both had to return to work, and promised to get him help. But a few hours later, their son opened fire on his classmates, killing four and wounding seven others.
The mother’s lawyer Shannon Smith argued that the school officials didn’t appear very concerned about her son’s mental state in their meeting on the day of the shooting, adding that if the mother had known the seriousness of her son’s condition, she could have either brought him with her to work or gone home with him.

According to evidence shown during the trial, the shooter’s mother <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/man-affair-jennifer-crumbley-testifies-sons-school-shooting/story?id=106839270" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a text message to Brian Meloche — a man she was having an affair with at the time of the shooting — that the shooting “could have been prevented” and blamed school staff for allowing her son to return to class.
The teenage shooter pleaded guilty to 24 counts, including first-degree premeditated murder and terrorism causing death. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole in December.

School Shooting

Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) blamed former President Donald Trump for the 2015 shooting at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina by a white supremacist who has since been sentenced to death for murdering nine African-Americans during the attack.
Clyburn made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; while discussing President Joe Biden&#8217;s upcoming trip to the state.
&#8220;Is it fair to tie in any way what happened at the Emanuel AME Church to Donald Trump?&#8221; Tapper asked Clyburn &#8220;Donald Trump had barely launched his campaign when that attack happened.&#8221;
&#8220;I think it is very clear that Donald Trump&#8217;s utterances way back before Charlottesville or at the time of Charlottesville ties him to what happened at Mother Emanuel,&#8221; Clyburn claimed. &#8220;The fact of the matter is, that young man went into that church&#8217;s basement, joined with those worshipers in Bible study, and murdered them.&#8221;
&#8220;And he said at the time that he was attempting to create a race war. But the people of Charleston, South Carolina, the families of the affected victims all came together to get beyond hate and reach out to help continue this pursuit of a more perfect union,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Donald Trump looked at those people in Charlottesville and said that there were good people on both sides. And those people were uttering things like, &#8216;Jews will not replace us.&#8217; That is a religion. The AME Church Emanuel, that is religion. And Donald Trump has said things in support of those activities that ties him closely to what happened at Mother Emanuel.&#8221;
