[QUOTE="HFS, post: 3324137, member: 8862"] Fox News says teen considered the leader of the two suspects who killed a fellow student and wounded others in a school shooting back in May 2019 (sadly, not too far from Columbine) pleaded guilty to 17 charges on Friday, after a judge had ruled that the 16-year-old would be tried as an adult, rather than as a juvenile. "...Alec McKinney, 16, reached a plea deal with prosecutors following a ruling from a judge in December, that said he would be tried as an adult..." [URL]https://www.foxnews.com/us/teen-pleads-guilty-to-murder-in-colorado-school-shooting[/URL] I had not heard about a motive in this case until today. Fox News has now deleted this detail from their story, but supposedly the shooter's motive was "...to target classmates who repeatedly mocked his gender identity. Written summaries of police interviews with the two suspected shooters portray 16-year-old Alec McKinney as the leader of the attack, enlisting 18-year-old Devon Erickson in the plan to kill the students who bullied McKinney, who identifies as male. Both teenagers told police that they broke into a gun safe at one of the teenager’s homes before walking into the STEM School Highlands Ranch on the afternoon of May 7 with a guitar case and a backpack concealing four guns. McKinney 'said he wanted the kids at the school to experience bad things, have to suffer from trauma like he had had to in his life,' the document said. 'He wanted everyone in that school to suffer and realize that the world is a bad place.'"
