Il, Facts and circumstances supporting probable cause
‘On 2/13/18 at 09:25 hours | responded to a Threat call for service at [i
Everett, Snohomish County, Washington.
~ | made a phone call first to the reporting party, Catherine E, Katsel-O'Connor DOB:
who stated she had found her grandson's journal last night
in his room, 2/12/18, after he left to go to a friend's house. Mrs. O'Connor identified her
grandson as Joshua Alexander O'Connor DOB: IEE (verified by DOL). Mrs.
‘O'Connor stated that she read a couple of the recent entries in the journal that included
a plan to shoot people at Ace's Alternative High School located 21 i
Everett, Snohomish County, Washington.
- Mrs. O'Connor said she then made copies of other journal entries, and placed the
journal back where she found it on Joshua's bed. Mrs. O'Connor stated that she has
lobserved Joshua writing in the journal and typically Joshua does not go anywhere
‘without it. Mrs O'Connor describes Joshua's journal as spiral-bound 8.5x11" with what
looks like writing or drawing of some kind in black ink on the front cover. This journal
outlines in detail how, when and why Joshua intends to carry out his shooting/bombing
attack on ACES High School.
-Mrs. O'Connor stated when Joshua returned home on 2/12/18 he was carrying a
{guitar case. Mrs. O'Connor said it appeared from the way Joshua was carrying the
jcase, something heavier was inside the case other than a guitar. The next morning,
2/13/18, Mrs, O'Connor waited until Joshua left for school. After Joshua left for school,
Mrs. O'Connor went into his room and located the guitar case Joshua was carrying.
Mrs. O'Connor opened the guitar case and found an AR style rifle. Mrs. O'Connor then
decided to call 9-1-1,
~ | arrived at Mrs. O'Connor's home, EEE Everett, Snohomish County,
Washington. Mrs. O'Connor handed me an excerpt of the journal she made which
included 17 pages, which | took custody of and later submitted as evidence. Mrs.
O'Connor stated while looking for the guitar case in Joshua's room, she saw two
grenades. Mrs. O'Connor then asked her husband to inspect the grenades. Mrs.
(O'Connor stated that Mr. O'Connor said they appeared to be “inert."
- In Journal entry #4 dated 1/4/18, Joshua writes, "I'm preparing myself for the school
shooting. | can't wait. My aim has gotten much more accurate." Joshua goes on to
‘write, "I'm 18 now, my plan is to save up more money and legally buy a Mossberg 590,
shockwave 20 Ga 14-inch shotgun. It's small, easy to conceal, and will do the job.”
Later in the same entry Joshua writes, "Can't wait to walk into that class and blow all
‘those MEMaway."
- In Journal entry #5 dated 1/9/18, Joshua writes, "I've been thinking alot... | Need
(underlined) to make this shooting/bombing at Kamiak infamous. | Need (underlined) to

get the biggest fatality number | possibly can. | Need (underlined three times) to make
this count. I've been reviewing many mass shootings/bombings (and attempted
bombings) I'm learning from past shooters/bombers mistakes, so | don't make the
[same ones. I'm thinking about using pressure cooker bombs for Kamiak (easy to hide
and will fit in a backpack) and thermite/propane bomb for the MUK police distraction."
Joshua also wrote, " I'm ecstatic for April 19th." In the entry April 19th is circled. The
emphasis Joshua put in this entry on the date of April 19th is important because the
‘Columbine High School attack took place on April 20, 1999 and the Oklahoma City
bombing took place on April 19, 1995.
- Also included in the copies provided to me by Mrs. O'Connor is an entry labeled, "My
Will which is signed by Joshua O'Connor at the top. In the entry Joshua proceeds
give his belongings to his sisters and friends.
- In Journal entry #7 dated 1/25/18, Joshua writes, "So today I just bought a Hi-Point
10 +1 9mm Carbine rifle. They didn't have it in stock at West Coast Armory, so it's
|going to take a week to come in. I'm just so stoked that | bought it. | can't wait for the
‘carbine to come. It's too [lMeasy to buy a gun." Later in the same entry Joshua
\writes, "I like the amount of ammo it holds, | won't have to reload as much. | already
have some 9mm ammo, but | need more hollow points for my retribution. | can't wait for
April, it will be a blast. Eric Harris had the right idea getting this rifle. It shouldn't be
hard to conceal. | was thinking about using a guitar case. As of now I'm going to work
lon getting more gunpowder and other supplies for my CO2 bombs and pipe bombs."
The reference Joshua makes in this entry is significant because Eric Harris was
identified as one of the shooters in the Columbine High School Attack on April 20,
1999. Eric Harris also used semi-automatic rifles and improvised explosive devices in
their attack.
- In Journal entry #9 dated 2/2/18 titled "Coin flip of Fate." Joshua writes, "The results:
I'm coming for you Ace's. Damn Kamiak you I got lucky..." Later in the same entry
jJoshua writes, "! can't wait to fuck up Ace's! April is gonna be a blast.”
Included in the copies of Joshua's journal provided by Mrs. O'Connor is a page titled,
Outline for Ace's Massacre”. In it Joshua details step by step how he plans to carry
lout the attack to include the time of day. The steps include, "Bring gear and weapons
(wait til lunch). Wait 2-3 mins after lunch bell and go to gym backdoors by student
parking, and put zip ties on door handles (so BBMBER cant escape), Set up pressure
cooker bomb by bleachers with most students. Walk out of gym and zip tie gym doors
by Tom's history class. As soon as FTP bomb goes off start shooting spree and start
music, Throw pipe bomb and smoke bomb in office. Mow kids down in hallway and
jaym. Kill yourself at the end of Make a change.”
Due to Joshua writing about his research of mass shootings/bombings Mrs. O'Connor
was asked if Joshua had access to his own computer. Mrs. O'Connor stated that
Joshua does not have a computer and she observes him accessing the Internet

exclusively on his cell phone. For this reason, | ask that the court also grant acess to
Joshua's cellular telephone. The cellular telephone then will be impounded to the
Everett Police Department property room and a supplementary search will be
requested for obtaining pertinent information from it.
Joshua O'Connor was located at ACES High School and arrested today at 1150hours.
At the time of his arrest, he was armed only with a folding knife. Joshua had receipts
from West Coast Armory for the recent purchase of a High Point 9mm rifle.

II. Facts and circumstances supporting probable cause
In addendum to the previous search warrant and affidavit attached and incorporated
herein;
‘On 02/12/2018 at approximately 2212 hours, Everett Police officers were dispatched to
a robbery at ARCO AMIPM, | verett, WA 98204. The clerk
reported that two men had come in and robbed the store at gunpoint using a black rifle.
‘At 2158 hours, two suspects entered the store wearing full-face masks. One male was
|wearing a face mask that resembled the likeness of Donald Trump. The other was
|wearing a similar material face mask that was unidentifiable at the time.
The suspect with the unidentifiable face mask was wearing a distinctive patterned
green and black outer shell jacket. He was holding a black rifle pointed at the clerk.
The rifle was covered with a gray and black sweatshirt, however the front sight was
clearly visible and distinctive in that it was an abnormally high front sight.
The suspect wearing the Donald Trump face mask collected approximately $100 in
cash from the cash register and placed it in a black backpack. Both suspects then left
on foot.
The robbery occurred under EPD case number 2018-16818
‘On 02/13/2018 at approximately 2010 hours, the aforementioned and attached search
warrant was served on O'Conner’s residence.
| observed the clear and in color surveillance video of the robbery at ARCO AMPM.
(On O'Connor's bed was a black, HiPoint $mm rifle. The stock appeared to match that
of the stock of the rifle observed in the surveillance video of the robbery. The front
sight of the rifle also exactly matched the distinctive, abnormally high front sight of the
rifle observed in the surveillance video.
Inside of the northeast closet in his room, a cardboard shoe-box was located. Upon
‘opening the shoe-box in service of the warrant, two full face masks were observed
|depicting the likeness of Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un.
The Donald Trump mask matched the mask observed in the surveillance video exactly.
The second mask appeared the match the Kim Jong Un masked discovered in
(O'Connor's residence, however the hair portion was not visible in the surveillance
video due to it being partially covered by the hood of a coat.
[Also observed in this same closet in O'Connor's residence was a distinctive patterned
green and black outer shell jacket exactly matching that of the suspect holding the rifle

in the surveillance video.
In interviewing O'Connor's grandmother, Catherine E. Katsel-O'Connor DOB:
she advised that Joshua had returned home on the evening on 02/12/2018 at
approximately 2230 hours. This is consistent with approximate walking time from the
‘ARCO AMPM that was robbed.
Catherine also advised that Joshua was not wearing a coat and was carrying his guitar
case, She asked him where his coat was and he advised it was in the guitar case.
She noted that the case seemed unusually heavy at the time. The morning of
02/13/2018, she discovered the above mentioned rifle in the guitar case.
The face masks, green and black jacket and rifle found in O'Connor's bedroom all
exactly match the surveillance video of one of the robbery suspects. The suspect
holding the rifle pointed at the clerk was wearing the green and black coat and the Kim
Jong Un mask.
Due to the information listed above, I have probable cause to charge Joshua O'Connor
jwith RCW 9A.56,200 Robbery in the 1st Degree.
