So do we know who the girlfriend is? Does she corroborate his story?


I'm very concerned to know his intentions. If some stupid fake kidnapping is accurate, then it's just an obviously unhinged kid who needs jail time and a wake up call. If his intentions were to shoot up the church or harm others, he needs to be locked away with no key.

What are his parents like? Did he have a relationship with the parish priest? Could this be a vengeance for abuse situation? I heard from someone who was there that day that they were told he was there to kill the priest.

At this point I have no idea what's true.

I’ve heard this too, but I think it’s just a rumor.

Honestly both that rumor and the kidnapping rumor appear to be minimizing what his potential motive could’ve been, almost seems like damage control.

I don’t know the girlfriend or his parents. My husband says that his dad is real nice — been married he thinks 3 times?— but he was not aware that he lived with the grandparent. Also said the grandfather is super nice — he knows him from ramcjing/farm bureau/cattlemen’s association type things; very involved as I think Epic said.

My kids are older than him by several years .. so I’m not familiar with him. Have several teacher friends at the school but didn’t want to ask them about him yet.

As far as a relationship with the priest: the school has mass every Friday. And the priest who was celebrating the mass that morning is frequently at the schools. Can’t speak to their actual relationship of course or of anything had ever happened.

I hope that this kid gets the help that he obviously needs.
