Overview
- Authorities say 16-year-old Desmond Holly shot and wounded two students at Evergreen High School before dying of a self-inflicted gunshot.
- An ADL analysis reports Holly was active on WatchPeopleDie since December 2024, a forum mixing graphic violence with white-supremacist and antisemitic content.
- The ADL says the same forum has been used by other recent teenage school shooters, including Natalie Rupnow in Wisconsin and Solomon Henderson in Nashville.
- Holly’s online footprint included an Elliot Rodger profile image, a gun photo posted on X about two hours before the attack, tactical gear with extremist symbols, and a TikTok referencing the Christchurch mosque shooting.
- The ADL notes the site’s domain is registered by proxy with Cloudflare as registrar and using Cloudflare-owned IP addresses; Cloudflare says it does not host the site, TikTok says it banned accounts linked to Holly, and the sheriff’s office declines to verify the ADL report while the case remains open.
