After receiving a threatening message from a Kentucky man she had never met, a New Jersey mother of three reported the man to the police, likely preventing him from carrying out a school shooting.
Twenty-one-year-old Dylan Jarrell of Lawrenceburg, Ky., attacked the woman, Koeberle Bull of Lumberton, N.J., in a racist, profanity-laden Facebook message last week, prompting her to report him to Kentucky State Police.
“There’s no such thing as white privileged you f***ing autistic f**k. I hope your black children gets hung for you being so stupid. . . . Act your race retard,” the message read in part, according to a screenshot later posted on Bull’s Facebook page and reviewed by Fox News.
Kentucky State Police officers arrived at Jarrell’s home on Thursday as he was pulling out of his driveway and subsequently discovered a large cache of weapons in his home.
“A firearm, over 200 rounds of ammunition, a Kevlar vest, a 100-round high-capacity magazine, and a detailed plan of attack were also discovered in the possession of the subject,” the police announced. After obtaining a search warrant to examine Jarrell’s digital history, they said they’d also discovered he had recently researched how to carry out a school shooting.
“There is no doubt in my mind that as a result of this investigation we saved lives,” Kentucky State Police commissioner Rick Sanders said in a news conference. “This young man had it in his mind to go to schools and create havoc. He had the tools necessary, the intent necessary, and the only thing standing between him and evil and doing evil is law enforcement.”
Jarrell, who is currently being held in the Shelby County Detention Center, pleaded not guilty to “making terroristic threats” on Monday.
