Transgender Teen Arrested for Planning School Shootings in Maryland

The 18-year-old was charged after a detailed manifesto and social media posts suggested imminent attacks on two schools.

Alex Ye, an 18-year-old transgender student, was arrested on charges of planning mass shootings at her former high school and an elementary school.
Ye had previously been released from a psychiatric facility where she met a person who later alerted authorities about her writings.
The manifesto, described as a 'memoir', contained detailed plans for the shootings and expressed a desire to become famous.
Investigators found social media posts and internet searches by Ye that supported the threat of violence.
The case is being investigated by the Montgomery County police and the FBI, with Ye currently held pending a bond hearing.
