Arrested teens laugh about plot to ‘kill classmate to resurrect Sandy Hook shooter’

A pair of Florida teenagers laughed over an alleged murder plot to kill a classmate in order to “bring the Sandy Hook shooter back to life”.

Isabelle Valdez, 15, and Lois Lippert, 14 - both students at Lake Brantley High School in Altamonte Springs - were arrested in January after police uncovered the alleged murder plot.

Patrol vehicle footage following their arrest on 23 January shows the pair laughing as they described the moment as a “bonding experience”.

The teenagers are accused of plotting to murder a fellow classmate in a “blood ritual” which they believed would resurrect Sandy Hook killer Adam Lanza. The girls allegedly believed that their victim looked similar to Lanza.

Both teens have pleaded not guilty to their charges of attempted premeditated murder, attempted felony murder and other counts.
