MCALESTER, Okla. (KFOR) -- News 4 is receiving more details on the Oklahoma teen accused of wanting to shoot 400 of her old high school classmates while allegedly bragging to her pizza place co-worker about the recent purchase of an AK-47.
Police describe the baby-faced 18-year-old Alexis Wilson as a “serious threat” for her alleged mass shooting plot in McAlester.
We're hearing from a local family claiming Wilson has threatened to kill before. Even putting it in black and white, in a school yearbook just last year.
The family never reported Alexis Wilson because they didn't believe she was an actual threat saying Wilson just wanted to prove to other girls at the boarding school she was someone not to mess with.
“She wrote in everyone's yearbooks, 'if you don't see me on the news just know I am doing good'. Then we see her on the news, and it is just crazy,” said Adara Collins.
Just last year, 17-year-old Adara Collins and 18-year-old Alexis Wilson attended Thunderbird Youth Academy.
“I think she needed help just like everyone else does at some point. I believe if she got help it wouldn't have escalated to this point.”
