21-year-old woman arrested for plot to commit mass shooting at Greenbrier [AR] Elementary School

The Greenbrier [AR] School District sent families a notice that a 21-year-old woman was arrested for planning a mass shooting at East Side Elementary School.

Police records show that Abilene Almanza was brought into Greenbrier Police Department for questioning after the FBI tipped police off concerning messages she was sending in the app Discord.

A report says that during the interrogation, Almanza said she suffered bullying “her entire life, but especially in elementary school.” Officers wrote that Almanza planned on stealing weapons from a relative’s home in the community of Springhill to conduct the shooting.

The police report says that Almanza targeted an elementary school because she said that’s where she was bullied the most, and she believed there would be less security on hand than at a middle or high school.
