A teenager was sentenced this week for planning shootings at schools and churches in Colorado, naming in a manifesto people to be targeted, the locations of schools, and instructions on how to make guns with a 3D printer, authorities said.

William Whitworth, who identifies as “Lilly Whitworth,” was sentenced this week to six years in prison, followed by three years of mandatory parole, prosecutors said. She pleaded guilty in November to second-degree assault for threatening to target three schools in Colorado Springs Academy District 20.
