There's word going around a fur called Tristen Smith, who a long while back faked his death, has actually killed himself for real reals. The guy was also known for a while as he shot at an empty school with an AK47-style rifle, but was actually planning on a proper shooting. The new account name was T.D. Procyon, old one where he faked his death below.
Archive is being slow as hell so here's the normal text, too.
A Spotsylvania County teenager was convicted of a felony charge Thursday for being part of a plan to shoot students at Riverbend High School last year.
Tristen Smith, 17, entered a no-contest plea in Spotsylvania Circuit Court to a charge of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. A second charge, making written threats, was dropped.
Smith will face a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison when he is sentenced May 31. Defense attorney John Spencer said that is likely to be a lengthy hearing, unlike the brief one held Thursday.
Smith and 16-year-old Gavin B. Oztuna were arrested in October after police learned about a plot that involved calling in a bomb threat at Riverbend, where they were students, then shooting fellow students and staff members as they left the building. Both are being tried as adults.
Court records list Smith as the would-be shooter. Police said the plan never got close to actually being carried out.
Oztuna is also charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. An April 1 hearing date has been set for Oztuna to enter a plea.
The police investigation turned up witnesses and social media writings tying the teens to the murder plot.
In the writings, Smith expressed frustration about how people had treated him at the school and warned that he was “going to make everyone feel the pain they caused me.” He warned at least two girls that something was in the works and told them to be prepared to skip school whenever he advised them to.

A Spotsylvania County man who made news when he was part of a plot to shoot people at Riverbend High School while he was a student there in 2015 was arrested on drug charges Thursday night in Stafford County, authorities said.
Stafford Sheriff’s Maj. Shawn Kimmitz said Tristen Smith, 22, was driving a 2017 Jaguar XE at the intersection of U.S. 17 and Plantation Drive when he was stopped at 9:56 p.m. by Deputy R.S. Dominguez.
Smith and his passenger, 23-year-old Summer Pennington of Spotsylvania, were both wanted as the result of a drug investigation headed by Detective N.J. Chiappini, Kimmitz said. Both are charged with two counts of possessing illegal drugs with the intent to distribute and two counts of conspiracy.
Kimmitz said illegal drugs were found in the car following Thursday’s traffic stop. Smith and Pennington are also accused in connection with a drug-related incident that took place Jan. 6, court records show.
Smith was 17 when he and another teenager were accused of planning a mass shooting at Riverbend in October 2015. The scheme involved calling in a bomb threat and shooting people as they came out of the school.
The plot was uncovered before any plan was set in motion. Court records quoted Smith expressing frustration about how he’d been treated at the school and threatening to “make everyone feel the pain they caused me.”
Smith was tried as an adult and received 10 years on a conspiracy to commit murder conviction. He was allowed to serve his time in the Youthful Offender Program, a program for younger offenders in which they are kept for up to four years.
He also received 40 years on two burglary convictions he received in juvenile court, but all of that time was suspended.
Smith is in the Rappahannock Regional Jail. Pennington is free on bond.
