A Different Kind of Potential Mass Shooter--except for one thing

Police in McAlester, OK arrested an 18 year old after she said she wanted to kill 400 people with her new AK-47.
It's very unusual for a female to want to commit mass murder, but one thing ties her to most of the rest:
The high school she allegedly targeted had suspended her once for bringing a knife to school and again for displaying swastikas on her personal belongings, a school resource officer told the sheriff’s office.
Is this actually different than the application of a Red Flag law other than she was actually arrested? I haven't figured that out yet. But she's another fucking White supremacist shithead, and, it may not be just, it may be "vendetta", but as far as I'm concerned they can throw away the key on this one.

Then Wilson told the other teenage waitress how much she resented the people at her old school — allegedly adding that she wanted to “shoot 400 people for fun.”
If true that is an indirect threat. No ERPO/red flag would be needed to handle it.

What I saw: Yet again, some angry young White person fascinated with nazis.

OK doesn't have a red flag law, I agree with DM that normal threat of violence laws should apply. OK might also have laws allowing psychiatric holds on a person for evaluation and that could allow them to remove her AK. She has a history with the school, she just purchased a firearm and made a threat, would seem like sufficient evidence.

It's also sad she thinks someone sold her an AK-47.
