An 18-year-old Oceana High School student is behind bars on felony charges alleging she posted on Snapchat that she bought a gun and planned to shoot 12 victims earlier this month, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office.
Jessica Joy Turla, of Daly City, was charged with 12 counts of attempted criminal threats when she appeared in court Wednesday and will next appear in court June 4 for Superior Court arraignment, according to prosecutors.
In a May 17 post to Snapchat, Turla allegedly said she bought a gun and intended to shoot 12 victims, which she listed by first name along with the Pacifica high school she attended. No gun was ever recovered and her motives for the threats are currently unknown. She was arrested and remains in custody on $600,000 bail, according to prosecutors.
