"The defendant stated that she had thoughts that she wanted to take a gun to Oviatt Elementary School in Norwalk, at 11 am through the cafeteria, and shoot children."
A 19-year-old trans-identified female was arrested by Iowa police and charged with a "threat of terrorism" after authorities were made aware of a "potential threat" to Oviatt Elementary School in Norwalk, Iowa.
Margaret Anderson, who also went by "Maxwell," was arrested after Anderson made statements to a therapist as part of "regular treatment" about wanting to conduct a shooting, Warren County Attorney Doug Eichholz told the Daily Wire. The therapist reported the statements to the Des Moines Police Department, who forwarded the information to the Norwalk Police Department, Anderson’s hometown.
"The defendant stated that she had thoughts that she wanted to take a gun to Oviatt Elementary School in Norwalk, at 11 am through the cafeteria, and shoot children," Eichholz cited the complaint as saying.
Eichholz said the complaint did not include context that could shed light on Anderson’s motive. He added that after sharing the thoughts with the therapist, Anderson was entered into Iowa Lutheran Hospital in Des Moines, which has a mental health facility.
Anderson was arrested on Monday and released Tuesday morning on house arrest. Anderson currently has a GPS bracelet.
This comes after the journal of Nashville Covenant School shooter Audrey Hale was released by the Tennessee Star in early September. Hale, who identified as transgender, killed three 9-year-old children and three staff members during a March 27, 2023 shooting.
