Suspects in Alleged School Shooting Plot in Georgia Had Floor Plan, Had Chosen a Date, Warrants Say

Investigators say the suspects obtained a floor plan, chose a date and discussed weapons and body armor before arrests followed an FBI tip.

  • On October 23, authorities arrested three people for allegedly plotting a shooting at Cherokee High School in Canton, Georgia, about 45 miles north of Atlanta, charging them with conspiracy to commit murder.
  • The FBI identified "threatening social media posts" and notified school police, who contacted the Canton Police Department after discovering the suspects had obtained a floor plan of the school.
  • Shane Keith Taylor, 17, and Michael Brandon Terry, 21, allegedly agreed with an unidentified juvenile suspect to provide weapons and discussed buying body armor, selecting August 20 as the planned attack date.
  • Cherokee County School District Superintendent Mary Elizabeth Davis sought to reassure parents in a video message Tuesday, stating that law enforcement agencies had "completely disrupted" the alleged plot.
  • Investigators collected guns, ammunition, and electronic devices as evidence, and police confirmed no ongoing threat to Cherokee High School or any other school in the county remains.
