19-year-old man accused of planning mass shooting at Florida High School

ORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Police officers pulled over a 19-year-old recent graduate from Okeechobee High School because the headlight on his truck was out. Then they found handwritten pages detailing plans to kill everyone at his high school.
Henry Horton IV, of Okeechobee, was arrested Thursday by Palm Beach County Sheriff’s detectives after they uncovered his plans for mass killings at multiple locations, according to a probable cause affidavit, discovering that he had done “recon” at two targets in Parkland, including Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
Asked why he would attack Stoneman Douglas, the site of a school massacre that killed 17 and injured 17 in 2018, the affidavit says, Horton replied, “for attention or fame.”
Agreeing to speak to the officers without a lawyer, Horton detailed his plans to kill 15 people at his former high school, Okeechobee High, on his 22nd birthday in 2026, including an administrator, then to go on a stabbing spree at a Miami church, according to the affidavit. He said he wanted to be killed by police afterward.
When the detective asked him why, he said he wanted to do something violent because his stepmother had kicked him out of the house. He had written a manifesto, which was in his truck when he was stopped.
Asked if he had done recon anywhere else, Horton told the detective that he had gone to a church in Parkland near Stoneman Douglas High a few weeks ago, according to the affidavit. His truck was spotted in the area on Sept. 11, the affidavit says.
A few weeks before that, he admitted, he had gone to the Parkland high school itself for “recon,” watching people outside on a school day and thinking “hmm, interesting.”

It is always good when nuts like this are caught before they do something.
I wonder what probable cause they had to search the vehicle? It ain't every day that you go from a busted headlight to thwarting a mass shooting.

From reading that it honestly sounds like the kid had the IQ of an eggplant and was likely had some serious mental issues.
Probably had millions of issues with his mom cause she was too dumb to realize he was insanely fricked up mentally.
Got bullied cause he was likely poor and weird as frick and got insanely angry.
Seems like similar stories over and over of kids with shitty parents and bad situations that have mental health issues and no one or no way to get help with that. Then because of that a bunch of kids die unnecessarily.
I'm sure glad that dude's light was out this time, so the officers could stop it before it happened

Why not just let the police kill him on the front end and be done with it?

The white males who have been shooting up schools, churches, theaters, etc. since Columbine have had a few things in common. The one that stands out the most that they ALL have had in common is the excessive use of prescription meds for various “disorders”. ADD/ADHD, depression, anxiety, and others. These are facts, not my opinion.

WTF is wrong with people?
-parents not paying real attention to kids or teaching them proper values
-kids don’t properly socialize anymore, leading to feelings of isolation
-social media and all the problems that stem from that
-media and social media amplifying profiles of shooters for $$$ creating incentives for fame
-school shooter drills putting ideas into impressionable minds

Oh I know it be a popular opinion, but one thing is missing from your list... come on people, say it, say it...
This 19 year old was living with his mom. Prolly no job.. I bet he spent 14 hours a day playing call of duty and other first shooter games... Ever since he was a toddler...
Now... I am awaiting the first: "I've played video games all my life and never shot nobody."
To that I respond: Well Joe Biden, I've had an ar15 all my life and never shot nobody"
