Virginia’s third-largest school district, Loudoun County Public Schools, is under fire after a 19-year-old substitute teacher was arrested for allegedly plotting a “murder spree” at a high school.
Police arrested Hadyn Dollery, a man who identifies as a woman, on April 20 following an anonymous tip via the Safe2Talk app.
Court documents allege he sent a “kill list” to a friend via Discord and mentioned a “murder spree” at John Champe High School in Aldie, which is near Dulles International Airport.
Following the arrest, Loudoun County Sheriff Mike Chapman criticized the district for not adequately vetting Dollery’s background.
“It’s a concern to us,” he told Channel 7. “It’s actually something that we have mentioned to one of the school board members, and we hope to bring it up to others here. That’s a policy that can be changed.”
