14-year-old boy's plan for a 'massacre' at high school included color-coded maps: Police
Story by Jamie Frevele • 13h

A 14-year-old boy from Washington state was charged with attempted murder after a tip from Florida led police to believe that he was allegedly planning a mass shooting.

Mason Bently-Ray Ashby, 14, made his first juvenile court appearance on Wednesday and pleaded innocent to 13 charges including attempted murder in connection to social media posts he made late last month in which he allegedly said he was planning a "massacre" at Kamiakan High School in Kennewick, Washington. According to court documents obtained by local CBS outlet KEPR, Ashby allegedly posted a color-coded map of the school on TikTok that included a legend with labels including "gear up," "targets," "potential targets," "glass," "be wary of," and "exit."
 
Someone from Florida reportedly saw the Sept. 19 TikTok post and alerted the FBI.

KEPR reported that the FBI alerted the Kennewick Police Department after midnight on Sept. 20 after determining where the poster was located. The police investigation into the cell phone data connected with the post led authorities to Ashby, a freshman at Kamiakan High School.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Maybe that's what filled him with murderous rage.

17 years ago I had a 15 year old student that threatened to come to school and: "Shoot all the Mother F^*KERS!". His girlfriend told her mother and she notified the Admin. The kid managed to slip past everyone and get into my classroom. One of the Assistant Principals and the SRO came down top my room and took him away. Fortunately he did not have a weapon.
He ended up over at the Children's home for the mentally disturbed.

  • The problem with everything is they try and make it better without realizing the old way is fine.

The boy never had a chance.  Might as well have named the boy Sue.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
