Trans-Identifying Suspect Arrested After Allegedly Plotting to Shoot Up Schools, Churches

This came just days after the deadly Nashville attack on a Christian elementary school

A 19-year-old man who identifies as a woman is facing charges of attempted murder after allegedly plotting an attack on several schools and churches in the wake of the deadly Covenant School shooting on March 27.

William Whitworth, who court documents state identifies as “Lilly,” is accused of making threats against a number of schools in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The threats came just days after a woman who identified as a man killed six, including three children, at the small Presbyterian academy in Nashville.

Police in Colorado Springs say Whitworth planned to attack Timberview Middle School, Prairie Hills Elementary and Pine Creek High School on March 31.

Whitworth is facing charges of attempted murder, criminal mischief, and menacing.

Officers were called to respond to a scene where the reporting party claimed their “sister” had made multiple remarks about shooting up a school. The “sister,” it appears, was Whitworth.

“The sister identified herself as Lilly, but further investigation determined her birth name is William Whitworth,” a local outlet reported.

They found the suspect had punched several holes in a wall and had ripped his bedroom door off its hinges. Further investigation uncovered a manifesto and a plan to target a number of schools, including an elementary school.
