Md. teen’s father alerts detectives to mass school shooting plot

A Catoctin High School student faces felony charges for what investigators called a detailed plot to carry out a mass shooting at the school. Her father tipped authorities to the alleged plot, which included a timeline, phases of the attack and a target date, as well as a gun and potential bomb-making materials.


FREDERICK COUNTY, Md. — An 18-year-old woman faces felony charges for what investigators called a detailed plot to carry out a mass shooting at her high school.

“There is no doubt in our minds that we averted a disaster out there,” said Frederick County Sheriff Charles Jenkins, comparing the possible destruction to the deadly attacks on Columbine High and Sandy Hook Elementary.

It was Nichole Cevario’s father who alerted investigators to her plans, which, Jenkins said, were outlined in detail in her diary. Entries dating back to mid-December spell out a timeline and phases of a planned attack on Catoctin High School, in Thurmont, Maryland, set for April 5, he said.

Investigators quickly determined Cevario was acting alone and that no weapons or explosives had been on school grounds, said Maj. Tim Clarke, with the sheriff’s department.

However, Cevario had been gathering intelligence on emergency procedures at the school during drills and asking questions about the school resource deputy, asking, for example, how deputies were armed when they responded to a school emergency, Jenkins said.

I remember Thurmont, MD as a quiet rural town back in the 80s. We used to eat at the Cozy restaurant there back when my family lived in Frederick, MD.

It’s not a large town at all, census estimates around 6000-6500 population.

I would not have expected this story to come out of Thurmont, of all places.

This would be a really tough call as a parent.

No doubt. This man's actions deserve consideration for Presidential Medal of Freedom IMO. Especially considering past recipients.

“As an adult, Cevario legally purchased the firearm as well as ammunition, pipes with end caps, shrapnel, fireworks and fuse material, Jenkins said. Most of the materials were meant for bomb construction, he said; however, no materials had yet been assembled into an explosive.”

Sounds like it was more than a couple of diary entries.

I think in some jurisdictions, long guns (rifles and shotguns) can be legally purchased at 18.

Guess that explains it. Glad at least that her father appears to be sane and reported her.

Where did she get the shotgun?

Was it her dad’s?

CNN says that is Je’nan Hays http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/15/us/maryland-hijab-high-school-basketball-rule/

When you find a pic using google images you should first right click it and select “find similar images” to find out if the shady news site filched it from other source in order to illustrated their preferred narrative.

The perpetrators of the Sandy Hook “school shooting” used “crisis actors” to carry out that fraudulent attack. Do your research.
