An 18-year-old transgender high school student in Maryland, identified as Andrea Ye or 'Alex,' was arrested for planning mass shootings at two schools to become famous. Authorities found a 129-130 page manifesto detailing the shooting plans. The Montgomery County Police Department intervened to stop the plot. Ye had researched previous mass shootings and strategized on accessing classrooms. The plan included targeting an elementary school as well. The student had been previously released from a psychiatric facility and idolized other transgender mass shooters. The arrest sparked discussions about the suspect's transgender identity, with officials emphasizing that being transgender is not a crime.
