    The 16-year-old boy who shot two schoolmates and then himself at Evergreen High School on Wednesday after authorities say he was “radicalized by some extremist network” appeared to support white supremacist views online and showed an interest in mass shootings in the days before the attack.

    A post on X about an hour before Wednesday’s attack shows an image of a hand holding a revolver – the type of weapon that authorities confirmed Desmond used during the attack. Representatives for the sheriff’s office did not answer specific questions about the social media accounts.

    The accounts also include references to Holocaust denial, and the name on the TikTok account appeared to end with a reference to a prominent white supremacist slogan. That account reposted several videos showing school shooting scenes from movies, as well as another video that appeared to show the two Columbine shooters taking target shots at bowling pins. Other videos the account reposted were explicitly antisemitic or depicted people in Nazi uniforms.
