Man caught at traffic stop with plans to shoot Parkland, other sites 'for attention and fame'

A Florida man allegedly planned mass shootings and stabbing sprees at Okeechobee High School, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and a church in Florida but was foiled after a routine traffic stop, authorities said.

Palm Beach County authorities charged Henry Horton IV, 19, with making written threats to kill after a Jupiter police officer, conducting a traffic stop on the evening of Sept. 18, allegedly found handwritten notes from the suspect detailing his morbid plans.

After initially pulling Horton over for a broken headlight, the officer asked for his consent to search his vehicle and discovered "multiple, handwritten pages stating a plan to purchase firearms, and ‘kill everyone at OHS with my guns,’ which was later discovered to stand for ‘Okeechobee High School,’" an arrest affidavit filed earlier this month states.

The officer then spoke with Horton, who told him that he was planning on killing an administrator at Okeechobee High School, where he graduated last year, according to the affidavit.
