The 18-year-old girl, who went by "Jasey" on social media, was non-binary or trans, using "he/she" pronouns on Instagram.
An 18-year-old student died Monday after shooting herself inside a high school cafeteria in Ohio, and though the incident is being reported as a suicide by authorities, reports have come in that the student may have wanted to carry out a school shooting. Police say no one else was injured in the shooting.
According to tips sent in to Libs of TikTok, the student apparently “idolized the Columbine shooters” Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, even posting a photo of the two of them with a pentagram medallion. It is also reported that the shooter, who went by the name “Jasey” on social media, was non-binary or trans, using “he/she” pronouns on Instagram.
Commenters on the Instagram account claiming to have been friends with the account holder appear to confirm that Jasey had an interest in the Columbine shooters.
Officers responded to Valley Forge High School in Parma Heights at around 2:10 pm, where they located the student with a gunshot wound. Firefighters provided first aid at the scene before she was transported to a nearby hospital, where she later died, reports Newsweek.
The Parma City School District confirmed the death in a statement, saying: "We are devastated to share that an incident at Valley Forge High School has resulted in the loss of a student. Our hearts are with the student's family, friends, staff, and all who are impacted by this tragic loss."
Officials said law enforcement and emergency crews “arrived immediately and secured the building,” adding: "At this time, the situation is contained, and there is no ongoing threat to students or staff."
The student’s name has not been released by authorities. Police confirmed she was 18 years old. No indication has been officially given by police that it was anything other than a suicide.
School administrators initially responded to what they described as a “reported incident involving a firearm inside the school.” The building was secured shortly after, and students were kept safe as emergency responders handled the situation.
Superintendent Scott J. Hunt and Assistant Superintendent Amy Cruse said in a joint statement: "Our hearts are with the student's family, friends, staff, and all who are impacted by this tragic loss. This is an incredibly difficult time for our entire community."
The incident occurred on Monday, the same date as the anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre in 1999. Officials have not made any connection as of yet or announced any motive.
