An Indiana student who police say planned to commit a "Parkland Part Two" school shooting on Valentine's Day kept a shrine honoring other school shooters.

Trinity Shockley, 18, was arrested Wednesday and charged three felonies, including with conspiracy to commit murder, WISH-TV reported.

According to the arrest affidavit, Shockley shared her plans on Discord in various chats. She stated in the chat that she planned to commit "Parkland Part 2," that she planned to use an AR-15, and was shopping for a bulletproof vest.

She also shared an image of a photo collage of known mass shooter Dylan Roof, writing "I have THIS staring at me."

The affidavit states that on Feb. 11, Shockley told a school counselor that she was sexually attracted to Parkland High School shooter Nikolas Cruz. "Trinity spoke about how she wanted to have multiple children with Nikola[s] and that she has already named the children," the arrest affidavit states. Shockley also told the counselor she had written Cruz numerous times and showed the counselor a heart locket necklace that had a picture of Cruz inside.

On Feb. 12, police executed a search warrant at Shockley's home. They found a few AR-15 magazines and a box of .40 caliber rounds in Shockley's father's bedroom. A soft armor vest was found in the front room closet. No firearm was found.

In Shockley's room, police found the collage that had been shared on Discord. "There was a collage on the wall of Dylan Roof, Nickolas Cruze, and Andrew Blaze. All three of these men were known for mass killings. I took these photographs down and collected them as evidence at this time," the affidavit states.

Shockley's backpack also had three buttons of mass shooters: Dylan Roof, Nickolas Cruze, and Andrew Blaze.

Police also noted some Shockley's notebook writings.

On Jan. 13, she wrote, "These thoughts won[']t stop. I want to hurt others. All of the time! I want to hurt others. I wish people around me knew about my bad thoughts. I love violence. I love Ethan Crumbley and Nikolas Cruze. Becoming the worst version of myself hurts me but this needs to be done. You all need to be burnt out, killed, wiped away from humanity. Right now, I want to pull out a AR-15."
