DENVER (AP) — A teenager suspected in a shooting attack at a suburban Denver high school that left two students in critical condition appeared fascinated with previous mass shootings including Columbine and expressed neo-Nazi views online, according to experts.

Since December, Desmond Holly, 16, had been active on an online forum where users watch videos of killings and violence, mixed in with content on white supremacism and antisemitism, the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism said in a report.

Holly shot himself following Wednesday’s shooting at Evergreen High School in Jefferson County. He died of his injuries. It is still unclear how he selected his victims. The county was also the scene of the 1999 Columbine High School massacre that killed 14 people.

Holly’s TikTok accounts contained white supremacist symbols, the ADL said, and the name of his most recent account included a reference to a popular white supremacist slogan. The account was unavailable Friday. TikTok said accounts associated with Holly had been banned.

Holly’s family could not be reached. The Associated Press left a message at a telephone number associated with the house that police searched after the shooting.

Let’s just sweep this one under the rug and get back to talking about how we need to take guns away from queer and black people, and get more guns in the hands of Nazis.

Hi, I was born yesterday, is this a leftist?

He looked in the general direction of a possibly-trans person once, so this is one more example of trans terrorism.

"Guns don't kill people, but we need to nuclear bomb US cities to save us from that one black trans homeless person from mexico that I saw once."

It's always who you most expect.

Why is AP still citing the ADL? Surely there are more reliable sources?

Unfortunately it's one of the most vocal mainstream branches of the Kahanist movement.

I’m so glad that Charlie “Tiny Face” Kirk approached politics the right way. By spreading hate.

Where's the outrage? Where's the civil war cries?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

no outrage, the last thing conservatives want is to admit is mass shooting is caused by thier own.

I guess all that money spent on mass surveillance did nothing again, huh?

[–] tatterdemalion@programming.dev 1 points 14 hours ago

It's crazy they didn't have anyone actually watching the security cams during the event. Or even using software to detect motion on a roof.
