A Clarkston man who allegedly made threats about “shooting up” an Asotin County elementary school and committing mass murder at an Asotin County Fair Parade has pleaded not guilty in Asotin County Superior Court.

36-year-old Trevor Lunney, who is being held on a $200,000 bond at the Asotin County Jail, is charged with harassment, threats to kill and threats to bomb or injure property. He was found competent to stand trial, and his next court appearance is scheduled for October 3rd.

According to court documents, Lunney has made several statements about wanting to commit mass murder to the state Department of Corrections, law enforcement and Quality Behavioral Health.

In addition, he has reportedly talked about having access to hidden weapons in Nampa, and made comments about having a five-year plan, opening fire at a future fair parade and livestreaming it, becoming an active shooter at an elementary school and his desire to commit suicide.

According to a probable cause affidavit, because of nationwide events and mass shootings, police reportedly told Lunney his statements cannot be taken lightly and previous documented and observed behavior show there is a “reasonable fear” that those threatened acts would be carried out by the defendant.
