Iowa police arrested a trans-identifying 19-year-old on Monday and charged her with a "Threat of terrorism" after she revealed in therapy that she wanted to shoot up an elementary school, The Daily Wire has learned.
The Norwalk Police Department announced Monday that it had arrested Margaret Anderson after being made aware last week of a "Potential threat" to Oviatt Elementary School, located in Norwalk, Iowa.
According to Eichholz, the complaint about Anderson says: "The defendant stated that she had thoughts that she wanted to take a gun to Oviatt Elementary School in Norwalk, at 11 am through the cafeteria, and shoot children."
The complaint did not contain context as to why Anderson was motivated to shoot children, the Warren County Attorney said.
The revelation comes more than a year after a trans-identifying shooter killed three children and three adults at Covenant Christian School in Nashville in March 2023.
A number of LGBTQ groups told Newsweek that the publication of the shooter's manifesto could have "Serious consequences," and NBC News published a story saying that "Fear pervades Tennessee's trans community amid focus on Nashville shooter's gender identity," citing a transgender activist who reportedly told the publication, "We were already fearing for our lives. Now, it's even worse."
The FBI would claim that it withheld the shooter's 100-page journal in the name of public safety, suggesting that it would lead to "Conspiracy theories" and "Inaccurate information." The Tennessee Star published the shooter's entire journal in early September, and the writings revealed the shooter was obsessed with ideas of transgenderism and white privilege, and frequently wrote about her autism and depression.
