Desmond Holly, the son of Morgan Holly was a 16-year-old student at Evergreen High School, Colorado who recently carried out a mass shooting using a revolver. Authorities described Desmond as a deeply troubled youngster who was possibly influenced by extremist ideology. Desmond sadly took his own life after carrying out the shooting by turning the gun on himself. Beyond school records and his driver’s license photo, there is little to no information released about his personal life or background publicly.
Investigators have stated that Holly’s family is cooperating with law enforcement as they search for answers and are trying to determine how he obtained the revolver and ammunition. The sheriff’s officials stated that the family appeared shocked and had no prior warning that Holly planned the attack. As of now, Desmond Holly’s family is not under suspicion, and authorities are treating them as key witnesses with the family said to be cooperating in the investigation.
Desmond espoused white supremacist views online and showed an interest in mass shooters in the days before the attack and social media accounts that appear to be connected to shooter Desmond Holly are littered with references to mass shootings and antisemitic views.
