A Gloucester teen has been found guilty in a mass shooting plot. Though the teen claims he bought the gun to shoot himself. He ordered a handgun of the dark-web however the package was intercepted by homeland security. He now has two weapons charges and two counts of making indecent images of children.
ITV reports that Kyle Davies from Wotton in Gloucester has been found guilty of ordering a handgun and ammunition online with the plan to carry out a mass murder.
The prosecution found that his plan to carry out a murder was inspired by his ‘poster boys’ – the Columbine killers, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, as well as Norwegian mass killer Anders Breivik, whom he idolised and had researched extensively. The police found thousands of searches on his laptop on the mass killers going back to 1999 shootings.
SW ROCU and Gloucestershire Police worked together to deliver a replica parcel to Davies using an undercover policeman. He was later arrested by armed police and his house was searched.
According to the BBC He will also be sentenced for two counts of evading the prohibition on the importation of firearms and ammunition and two counts of making indecent images of children, which he pleaded guilty to at a previous hearing
