Colorado school shooter says he targeted kids over gender taunts
DENVER — A high school student charged in a classmate's death during a Colorado school shooting told police that he planned the attack for weeks and intended to target classmates who repeatedly mocked his gender identity.
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."Prosecutors charged McKinney as an adult; his attorneys have said they plan to ask a judge to move the case back to juvenile court.
A judge sealed both court records after Erickson and McKinney made their initial court appearances, preventing police or prosecutors from discussing almost anything about the case.Story continuesDuring a police interview, Erickson told police that McKinney sent him a Snapchat message on the night of May 6 telling him not to go to school the next day because McKinney wanted to get revenge"on a lot of people.
They drove back to the school and walked through the middle school entrance where McKinney"knew they would not be checked," according to the report. "While he was on the ground, he heard more gunshots and yelling and screaming," the record said."Devon described being in shock and stated he didn't want anyone to get shot."

Minor-League Baseball Player Has No Idea Which Team's Farm System He's In AnymoreBURLINGTON, VT—Utterly disoriented after changing minor-league teams and cities several times in the past year, Vermont Lake Monsters pitcher Shane McCatty told reporters Saturday that he no longer had any idea which MLB team&39;s farm system he belonged to. "I might have been a Washington Nationals prospect at one point," said McCatty, who was uncertain if he had been traded, promoted, or demoted by the major-league parent club. "Maybe they switched affiliations or something. Anyone&39;s guess is as good as mine. I&39;m almost positive [the Lake Monsters&39; parent team] isn&39;t a mammal one. And it&39;s definitely not a bird or a sock. I was thinking the Arizona Snakes, but that doesn&39;t really sound right, either." McCatty reportedly concluded that the smartest thing for him to do right now was to focus on throwing baseballs, which he remained confident was one of his responsibilities.

Grandfather's Advice Pretty Bad For Someone Who's Lived That LongNORTH AUGUSTA, SC—According to household sources, the Sederquest family was astounded by the glut of terrible advice offered Sunday by grandfather Bill Sederquest, with several younger members marveling at the fact that someone who has been alive since 1937 could have so little wisdom to offer. "He kept telling me I didn&39;t have to be in love to get married, saying that as soon as I settled down with a woman and started having kids, I&39;d just get used to it," said 17-year-old grandson Cody, whose grandfather also told him it was important to drive everywhere, as it would show people he was able to afford a nice car and gasoline. "I know I&39;m supposed to be respectful, but I have no idea how to respond when he tells me that if a guy&39;s giving me trouble, I should punch him in the back of the head when he&39;s not looking." Family members said they were also dismayed to learn that grandmother Eileen plans to pass her awful recipes down to the next generation.

Bats Shooed Out Of Nation's Waterslide Tunnels In Preparation For SummerWISCONSIN DELLS, WI—In an annual ritual as regular as the arrival of summer itself, the nation&39;s waterslide tunnels were purged Monday of all the bats inhabiting them. "Go on, scram," the nation&39;s broom-wielding water-park employees said to the bats, which took up residence in the dim fiberglass tubes shortly after Labor Day last year. "Go make your nest somewhere else! It&39;s summertime. There are all kinds of kids who are gonna want to cool down, splash around, and enjoy themselves. So beat it!" Following the successful evacuation of the bats, the water parks&39; junior employees were sent into the bathrooms to clear out all the daddy longlegs and porcupines that had wintered there.
