One of the suspects in the deadly Colorado school shooting is a bully who joked about shootings and threatened other students for years, a former friend said.
Kevin Cole used to go to STEM School Highlands Ranch, where one student was killed and eight others injured Tuesday in a shooting. Two suspects are in custody and will appear in court next week to hear the charges against them.
One of those alleged shooters was Devon Erickson, 18, who was once a friend of Cole's.
"They couldn't believe that he would actually do it, but they weren't entirely surprised that he did," Cole said of the suspect's friends.
Cole told CNN's Scott McLean on Friday that Erickson had a pattern of bullying, violence and jokes about mass shootings.
He would enter the classroom and say, "when the pencil hits the floor I'm going to start shooting." Then, he would spend the rest of class sporadically dropping pencils, Cole said of the suspect.
And sometimes, the "jokes" were more like threats.
"He would just get really close and kind of hunch himself over your shoulder as you were sitting down, and he would just whisper in your ear 'don't come to school tomorrow' and just kind of crack a smile and walk back to his seat," Cole said.
People would write it off as "that was just a Devon thing" and laugh, Cole said.
The two drifted apart after the alleged shooter started bullying Cole's brother, spreading rumors and spending class periods taunting him, he said.
The bullying never got physical with Cole's brother, he said, but it did with others.
The alleged gunman would get into fights when people he didn't like made him mad, Cole said. He described an incident in the eighth grade when he said the alleged gunman

The truth is the killer was the bully.
The narrative is that the killers needed more emotional support. The truth is the other students were in danger the whole time.
The killed in Florida was bullied. Still doesn’t justify the attack.
Homofascists are claiming the Denver attack had some justification.
Why is a known gunman dubbed “suspected” when the Covington kids were absolutely, positively racists?
Yes, the other killer was a female. In this article, a student is talking about the male killer.
Agreeing with you about “gunman/woman.” The media should just call them “killers.”
So they are admitting that her rampage was because she is transing?
That's how the Left uses the System to gaslight you.
Oh, got it. Thanks.
The Killer is 18. Where is her photograph?
That would help to explain a lot, including the hesitancy of the school to expel her due to violent threats.
There were two shooters. A queer male who is 18:

And a female tranny who is 16:

Obama blamed the Orlando attack on Christian opposition to same sex marriage
Never let a tragedy go to waste
Starting another major ‘problem’.
BO was allowed to run rampant for years because no one wanted to be dubbed a racist or accused of challenging him just because he was Black.
(I tried to ‘joke’ around that by saying I had no problem with his Black side, I just couldn’t tolerate his White side)
We have the same thing festering with the boyz stealing girls sports etc.
Where are the Fems?
(MY explanation - thought process)
‘The FEMs are ‘absent’ because for years they have been pounding us with Women are NO different from men so they should be allowed in combat, be CEOs etc
To go against the boyz taking over the athletic side would required the argument that boyz are STRONGER and more suited than girls in a lot of circumstances.
When they take this stand it will shoot down their argument(s) for the past few decades.
FINALLY, the libs & fems are ‘worried’ about being hypocritical.....
And the liberals yet again issue a tacit waiver for someone under their famous red flag laws.
Actually one was a homosexual, the other was trans.
Dog Day Afternoon comes to mind.
I wonder if they he was shouting “ATTICA! ATTICA!”
Yep, most of the time these shooters are well known (in the community) as weirdos/bullies/psychos.
The male is 18 The trans juvenile is 16 Pictures of both can be easily found online
Wait, I thought LGBTQ could only be perfect virtuous victims.
Thanks for the info.
