He included a photo of the Wisconsin shooter"
Two students at Evergreen High School were left in critical condition after a shooting by 16-year-old Desmond Holly, who later shot himself and died. Since December, Holly had been active on an online gore forum where users watch videos of killings and violence, alongside white supremacist and antisemitic content, according to the Anti-Defamation League's Center on Extremism. Holly's TikTok accounts displayed white supremacist symbols and a recent account name referenced a popular white supremacist slogan; TikTok said accounts associated with Holly were banned. Authorities have not disclosed how victims were selected; the sheriff's office declined to comment on ADL findings.
