An 18-year-old student meticulously planned a mass shooting at her high school in which she intended to die, authorities in Maryland said.

A shotgun, ammunition and bomb-making materials including nails and fireworks were found at Nichole Cevario's home in Thurmont on Thursday. There is no evidence that anyone else was involved.

The Frederick County sheriff's office said, one of the teen's parents notified Catoctin High School officials Thursday of a potential threat of violence and Cevario was removed from the classroom and turned over to investigators.

Cevario was later taken from the school to a hospital for an emergency evaluation and remains hospitalized. This attack was prevented by the parents, who stepped forward, Jenkins said.

Cevario's journal clearly spelled out detailed plans for an attack she had been working on for some time, including a timeline of the attack with her expectations for each stage, officials said.

The sheriff said, Cervario had set April 5 as the day of the attack. She was acquiring the materials and compiling details about school emergency procedures associated with drills conducted by school staff and on the school resource deputy.

Cevario's diary showed evidence of mental health issues, emotional issues. There was no indication that bullying was an issue, but the diary showed "a lot of frustration in her personal life.

Investigators don't believe anyone was working with Cevario and they think they've eliminated any threat to the school and community. While explosive materials were located during the investigation, they weren't combined in any form that created an explosive device.

Investigators have obtained an arrest warrant charging Cevario with possession of explosive material with intent to create a destructive device and possession of incendiary material with the intent to create a destructive device. They say the warrants will be served when she is released from the hospital.
