PACIFICA, CA — An 18-year-old Pacifica woman is facing 12 counts related to her alleged threats against fellow students at Oceana High School earlier this month.

On May 17, Jessica Joy Manaloto Turla allegedly posted on Snapchat that she had bought a gun and planned to shoot 12 students that same day, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney's Office.

Turla allegedly listed the students by their first names in her post but searches of her home and locker didn't turn up any firearms, prosecutors said.
