A 20-year-old New Braunfels man has pleaded guilty to buying a firearm with the intention to carry out a mass shooting targeting a popular Texas store and several schools, announced the Western District Court of Texas.
Authorities say Cameron Darrick Peterson, 20, began planning the mass attack in November 2022. According to the Houston Chronicle, a friend of Peterson's ex-girlfriend was the one to report him to authorities, citing Perterson's "severe emotional issues" and claiming that he "idolized violence and school shootings." The person also expressed concern "that he may emulate infamous prior mass shooters."
