A 13-year-old transgender student was apprehended and subsequently expelled from Les Paul Middle School in Waukesha, Wisconsin, last year following the discovery of a planned school shooting reminiscent of the infamous Columbine massacre.
However, parents were left in the dark about the looming threat. Insiders now suggest that the school district intentionally concealed the incident to avoid potential backlash against the transgender community.
As reported by The Post Millennial, expulsion documents obtained by The Dan ODonnell Show reveal that the student, a biological female identifying as male, spent several months exchanging messages with classmates about firearms, ammunition, and the creation of a "hit list." The student allegedly boasted about having access to a firearm and "hundreds of rounds" of ammunition.
On October 28, 2024, the student, along with an accomplice known only as "Student A," agreed to begin compiling a hit list. A few days later, Student A uploaded a TikTok video featuring the suspect dressed in a black trench coat, sunglasses, and a dark shirt with a red logo, a chilling echo of the attire worn by the Columbine shooters.
The video contained references to firearms and the suspect's easy access to them.
Despite brief suspensions, the students' sinister plotting reportedly persisted. A school resource officer later discovered more unsettling videos and images, including one where the duo filmed themselves in the school library, taunting a classmate and showing pictures of students they referred to as their "hit list."
When questioned, both students confessed to having "school shooter ideations."
A thorough examination of the suspect's phone uncovered disturbing internet searches such as "school shooting targeted list," "keeping a kill list," "trans kill hit list," and "can 13-year-olds be arrested."
The teenager was subsequently arrested on suspicion of making terrorist threats and referred to juvenile authorities. However, due to Wisconsin's sealed juvenile records, it remains uncertain whether charges were filed or a conviction was reached.
The Waukesha School District discreetly expelled the student at the end of the academic year, but parents were never alerted about the threat. Dan ODonnell, who first reported the story, told The Ari Hoffman Show on Talk Radio 570 KVI that parents are livid.
There is a whole lot of rage and anger here, ODonnell said. People are furious that the local media have not picked up this story. In fact, theres been a total blackout of it, even though I posted all of the documents right on social media.
ODonnell suggested that the cover-up was intentional. A couple of people very close to it said, Look, this was covered up. This happened last year and the school district, they believe, covered it up because they didnt want backlash against the transgender community.
ODonnell also noted that investigators are convinced that the swift action of the school resource officer averted a potential catastrophe. One of the Waukesha police investigators on this case said theres no doubt in his mind that had this not been caught this would have led to a school shooting. Literally, they dodged the bullet.
During the interview, ODonnell pointed out the left's hypocrisy in advocating for mental health checks for firearm ownership, while simultaneously affirming transgender students, regardless of their stability. Here, too, in the Waukesha case, ODonnell added, a 13-year-old girl all of a sudden thinks shes a boy. Well, she also thinks she was playing dress-up as Dylan Klebold cosplay not just as any boy, but specifically one of the Columbine killers. Thank heavens this was treated as the serious flashing red warning sign that it was.
The Waukesha School District has remained tight-lipped about why parents were not informed about the threat. In a brief statement to The Dan ODonnell Show, officials merely stated: Student safety is our number one priority in the Waukesha School District. If there is a safety concern, our district policies and procedures are followed to address the matter. We do not comment on any student disciplinary matters.
This case underscores the growing concern that schools are prioritizing ideology over safety, a trend highlighted by the recent fatal shooting in Minneapolis, perpetrated by another biological male identifying as a woman.
