Gun-Hoarding Teen Arrested After Saying She Wanted To “Shoot 400 People For Fun”

An Oklahoma teen has been arrested after telling a coworker she wanted to “shoot 400 people for fun”.

Police say 18-year-old Alexis Wilson made the threatening comment to a coworker at the pizza shop where she worked, and showed another person videos in which she fires an AK-47 rifle she had recently purchased.

While arresting her, Police found the AK-47, six magazines of ammunition, and a 12-gauge shotgun in Wilson’s bedroom.

Wilson’s mother says she was aware that her daughter was saving up for a new rifle, but wasn’t concerned because “Alexis has always shot firearms and had hunted”. School officials say Wilson had previously been suspended for bringing a knife to school.
