His Grandmother turned him in to police, today during sentencing the judge called her a hero #komonews. Joshua O'Connor sentenced to 22.5 years for planning a mass shooting at ACES Alternative High School. Then she did what many parents of school shooters never do: called the police to report that a child she loved posed a threat to his classmates, his community and himself. The next day, after O’Connor dropped her grandson off at school, she searched his room and found a semiautomatic rifle in a guitar case. “I Need to get the biggest fatality number I possibly can.”Ĭatherine O’Connor, a retired probation officer who was Joshua’s guardian, showed the journal to her husband, who was equally disturbed.
In the pages that followed, Joshua, who’d just turned 18, described a detailed plan to carry out his own massacre: the shotguns, pistols, assault rifle and ammunition he would buy and the bombs he would build the doors he would zip-tie “so bitches can’t escape” the spot by the bleachers where he would set off the first explosion the route he would take on his killing spree the moment, when it was over, that he would end his own life.
“School Shootings,” Joshua O’Connor had titled the first page, above a reconstruction of the Columbine High School massacre that left 13 people dead. She had seen her grandson’s red, spiral-bound notebook before that night, but now, as Catherine O’Connor sifted through its pages for the first time, what she read astonished her. James Crumbley and Jennifer Crumbley, parents of Ethan Crumbley, a teen accused of killing four students in a shooting at Oxford High School, pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter on Dec.
