Online Obsession Led to School Shooting | Roanoke News
Description
A psychologist revealed the teen shooter’s turbulent childhood—marked by poverty, instability, and parental drug use—fueling a lonely existence online. Obsessed with mass shooters like Cruz, Lanza, and Holmes, he built a shrine to Cruz and even hinted at his attack days before it happened. Experts say his actions stemmed from online immersion, not psychosis. Victims’ families demand life without parole, while the shooter’s father was convicted for supplying the weapon. The judge now faces a pivotal decision: will this teen ever be eligible for parole?
