‘By the grace of God:’ Embry-Riddle student arrested before he could commit mass shooting, police say

John Hagins, 19, found with gun, ammunition inside backpack, police chief says

 

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Daytona Beach Police Chief Jakari Young said police were able to stop a potential mass shooting at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University on Thursday.

Police arrested John Hagins, 19, Thursday morning outside of his home at Andros Isles Apartments, which is about three and a half miles from the university.

Hagins now faces charges of written threats to injure or kill, terrorism and attempted first-degree homicide.

According to Young, Hagins was speaking with two other Embry-Riddle students on Snapchat when he sent disturbing messages about a desire to “enact a Columbine,” a reference to the infamous 1999 mass shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado.

“By the grace of God, those two students came forward and thwarted that plan,” Young said.

The chief said when officers were contacted about the threat, they set up a perimeter around Hagins’ apartment.

“While we were getting a search warrant, he ends up coming out so we were able to grab him and detain him,” Young said. “Once we detained him, we immediately noticed that he had this backpack. You can see there’s a magazine that he had in this backpack. Contained inside the backpack was a collapsible rifle.”

Police identified the rifle as a Kel Tec SUB2000. The chief also showed that there were several rounds of 9mm ammunition inside the backpack, along with six magazines.

He has already confessed to making these statements (on social media). He has confessed to it. He may want to claim that it was all a joke, and he wasn’t serious about it. But we don’t find anything funny about discussing a mass shooting on a campus,” Young said.

Young also pointed out that Thursday was the last day before winter break.

“This was all a part of the plan because today the campus will be packed because everybody has to be there to take their final exam,” the chief said.

Young said the gun Hagins had in his backpack was a recent purchase.

“(Hagins) referenced that he finished his school shopping is what he said. In that (social media) message, he had the picture of this firearm,” he said.

According to a news release, Hagins sold his vehicle in order to purchase the gun.

Young added that officers are still searching to see if the 19-year-old had any more guns; however, he said they believe the man was acting alone.

Detectives are still trying to piece together the exact motive, but we have learned that Hagins was in danger of failing classes and was also cited for a traffic infraction while on campus yesterday, the release reads.

Authorities: Teens charged in trespassing case were in 'planning stage of school shooting'

by Crispin Havener/WJAC staff

OHNSTOWN, Pa. (WJAC) — Authorities have provided new details about the investigation into the Westmont Hilltop High School trespassing incident, which they are now calling an alleged school shooting plot.

 

Investigators say as a result of subsequent search warrants, a total of five AR-15 style firearms, a rifle, a shotgun and additional ammunition were seized from the home of 16-year-old Preston Hinebaugh.

 

Police also confirmed that they can prove that Hinebaugh had "access and control to at least two of the weapons at different points in time."

 

Upper Yoder police chief Don Hess stressed to 6 News that the other teenager being charged, 17-year-old Logan Pringle, was not allowed to be on Westmont school property due to a prior threat in which he "threatened to shoot up the school," and was expelled from the district.

 

A criminal affidavit states that Pringle had a past history of threats and "dangerous actions" towards the school district, including lighting a carpet on fire and bringing fireworks to the school in January of 2018, as well as the prior shooting threat.

 

According to the criminal complaint, Pringle gained access to Westmont Hilltop High School on Tuesday after Hinebaugh let him through the front door of the building, without any staff noticing.

 

Authorities say surveillance video shows the pair wandering the halls of the school and observing camera locations throughout the building.

Chief Hess noted that all investigating agencies believe that the two teens were in the "planning phase of a school shooting."

 

Pringle reportedly told police in an interview that he "didn't think it would be that easy to get back into the school," but said that he left the building through a side door near the gymnasium because he thought he would be caught.

 

Hinebaugh also told police in an interview that Pringle was "obsessed" with guns and had previously made firearm parts while attending a local vocational school.

 

Neugebauer said “an alarmed parent” alerted the school to the security breach.

 

"Recent events, including this one, must serve as a reminder that we all should remain alert to protect ourselves and those around us," Neugebauer said. "All threats to the safety of our schools and institutions will be thoroughly and swiftly investigated, and all incidents will be taken seriously."

 

Police said in a search warrant obtained by 6 News from the office of Magisterial District Judge Susan M. Gindlesperger on Friday that an AR-15 style firearm was found in Hinebaugh's home. Authorities say the boy admitted to possessing the weapon, without his parents' knowledge, during a police interview.

 

Police said they found the weapon in Hinebaugh's bedroom, along with ammunition and other firearm-related accessories.
