Nicholas Prosper Sentenced to Life for Family Murders and Planned School Massacre

The 19-year-old from Luton, motivated by a desire for notoriety, will serve a minimum of 49 years in prison as the UK government reviews firearms regulations following the case.

Nicholas Prosper murdered his mother, Juliana Falcon, and siblings, Giselle and Kyle Prosper, on September 13, 2024, in Luton as part of a failed plan to carry out a mass school shooting.
He meticulously plotted to kill 30 children and two teachers at his former primary school, aiming to surpass historical mass shootings in death toll and infamy.
His plans were disrupted by a violent struggle with his family, alerting neighbors and leading to police intervention, which likely prevented a larger tragedy.
Prosper illegally purchased a shotgun using a forged firearms certificate, exposing vulnerabilities in the UK's private firearms sales system.
The UK government has announced a review of private firearms sales regulations in response to the case, citing systemic weaknesses revealed by Prosper's actions.
