Teacher Threatened Mass Shooting to Empower Women to Be Serial Killers in New #Metoo Movement, Police Say

By The Daily Wire. Authorities in Las Vegas arrested a high school teacher after she threatened to shoot up a concert so she could start a new #MeToo movement aimed at empowering women to become serial killers.

Bonanza High School teacher Leslie McGourty, 48, was arrested earlier this month on terrorism charges after she threatened to “poke a lot of holes in a lot of people” at a concert in Las Vegas in text messages she sent to her friend. . .

“A perfect plan with my favorite song surrounded by a bunch of f****** up misfits like I am,” McGourty wrote in a text message. “Imagine knowing exactly the moment that you’re going to die. I know exactly that your favorite song will be playing. By your favorite band. It’s just too perfect.”

The Metropolitan Police Department decided to arrest McGourty at her home on May 16, three days before the concert, but she wasn’t there; she was at school teaching.

“It was at that point we made the request for (Clark County School District police) to immediately take Leslie into custody and to be removed from the classroom,” the police report states, according to the Review-Journal.

Police Report: Bonanza Teacher Threatened Shooting at Las Vegas Bar

By The Las Vegas Journal. Leslie McGourty was arrested on school grounds May 16 after her friend reported to Las Vegas police that she had threatened to kill herself and others during an ongoing conversation over text messages. The 48-year-old woman, who, according to public employment records, appears to have been a physics teacher, faces a felony charge of making a threat to commit an act of terrorism.

The text message exchange that landed her in police custody started early May 15 and extended late into the night, documents show.

In the series of text messages detailed in her arrest report, McGourty had repeatedly romanticized “being remembered” and said she hoped to start another #MeToo movement, “but this time in which women feel empowered enough to become serial killers.” . . .

Police also noted in the report that detectives “did not get much of a reaction from her” when they read excerpts from the text messages to her.

McGourty admitted to police that she had planned to attend a downtown concert, but that she “often has those types of conversations” with her friend, the report said. (Read more from “Police Report: Bonanza Teacher Threatened Shooting at Las Vegas Bar” HERE)
