A teenager suspected in a shooting attack at a Denver high school that left two students in critical condition reportedly was fascinated with previous mass shootings, including Columbine, and expressed neo-Nazi views online.

 

A new report from the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism suggests 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.

 

Holly fatally shot himself following the shooting at Evergreen High School in Jefferson County on Wednesday. It is still unclear how he selected his victims.

It cannot be true! We've been told that mass shootings have been caused by "trannies", and that they should not be allowed to have guns for this reason! 🤣

The FBI was tipped off months ago about concerning social media posts made by the teenage gunman accused of shooting two of his classmates last week at a Colorado high school, according to a report.

 

The agency had been investigating 16-year-old Desmond Holly’s alarming, far-right online activity since July, but did not know his identity at the time, Fox News Digital reported.

 

Holly, who died by suicide after opening fire at Evergreen High School last Wednesday, had been active on an online forum where users watch videos of killings and violence, and spent a significant amount of time online engaging with content featuring extremist ideologies and violence.

 

Colorado teen shooter’s violent online postings had been under investigation for months, say FBI
