  • Transgender teenager William 'Lilly' Whitworth has been sentenced to six years in prison after admitting to plotting mass shootings at three schools in Colorado.

  • Her targets included Timberview Middle School, Prairie Hills Elementary, and Pine Creek High School, all located in Colorado Springs.
  • Whitworth was arrested in March 2023 after her family called the police, reporting that she was threatening to shoot up a school and was punching holes in the wall.
