Overview

• Desmond Holly, 16, wounded two classmates at Evergreen High School and later died of a self-inflicted gunshot; the victims remain in critical condition.
• The ADL reports Holly was active since December on a gore forum tied to prior attackers and filled TikTok accounts with white supremacist symbolism, including references to the “14 words.”
• Investigators say his posts emulated past mass killers, from Columbine imagery and a “WRATH” shirt to references to Brenton Tarrant, along with photos of neo-Nazi patches and tactical gear.
• TikTok said accounts associated with Holly were banned, while a Jefferson County sheriff’s spokesperson declined to discuss the ADL’s findings.
• A report cited an X account linked to Holly that posted a photo of a revolver about an hour before the attack; authorities say a revolver was used and repeatedly reloaded.
