Washington Mom Turns in Teen Son After Viewing His Journal

College Place, Washington – A Washington mom turned her own son into police after she read of her son’s plot to kill not only her and her boyfriend, but “shoot up” College Place High School and kill  his classmates. Police stated the plot was set to commence on the anniversary of Columbine in April 2020.

His mom was referred to only as “Nicole.” No other names were released.

A school shooting that was stopped at the last moment in the Chicago suburbs is now being treated by prosecutors as an attempted mass murder. I wrote about this previously after it happened on May 22, when authorities in Plainfield Township responded to a call about a suicidal juvenile armed with a gun. By the time deputies arrived at the home, a family member had already tackled the 15-year-old…

On May 15th, 36-year-old Dustin Rudd of Ridgeland, Wisconsin, allegedly armed himself with a loaded .30-06 rifle, attached an American flag to a pole, livestreamed his actions online, and walked toward Prairie Farm School while threatening to murder children.

A school shooting at an elementary school in Illinois may have been stopped at the last possible second on Friday, and once again the difference between another national tragedy and a quiet local news story appears to have come down to sheer luck and one person acting fast.

I’ve been following this story out of Pierce County, Washington, for months now, and somehow it keeps getting worse while everyone involved keeps pretending it’s getting better. Back in early September, deputies arrested a 13-year-old boy after tips came in about his social media activity. Investigators said he was making threats, showing off guns, and talking about killing people. When…

People keep calling this a “foiled plot,” which makes it sound abstract and distant, like something out of a movie script that never made it to production. What actually happened in Kennewick, Washington, was much simpler and much closer to disaster. Fourteen-year-old Mason Bently-Ray Ashby, a ninth grader at Kamiakin High School, was arrested on September 20th, 2025, after a TikTok post…

Pasadena, Texas, is making headlines, and unfortunately it’s not for anything as harmless as a new rodeo attraction or a record-breaking barbecue festival. Instead, police say two Pasadena Memorial High School students were allegedly plotting a school shooting. A sentence that somehow feels less shocking when you remember that Texas statistically experiences more school shootings than almost any…

In St. Clair Shores, Michigan, a 20-year-old man is now at the center of a rapidly escalating criminal case after authorities say he expressed a desire to commit a school shooting. The headlines are dire, the bond is staggering, and the public reaction has swung toward fear. Yet when you step back and break down what has actually been reported, the shape of the story becomes murkier, not…
