2 suspects in a Colorado school shooting that left 1 student dead and wounded 8 others appeared in a Colorado courtroom on Wednesday.
Devon Erickson, 18 (pictured above), and a juvenile, Maya McKinney, were arraigned in connection with Tuesday’s shooting at the STEM School, a charter school located in suburban Highlands Ranch, CO.
Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said the 2nd shooter, a minor, is a female who is “transitioning” to a male.
Police say 18-year-old Kendrick Castillo was shot dead after he lunged at one of the shooters. 8 others were wounded during the shooting.
The shooting ended when Castillo, 18-year-old Marine recruit Brendon Bialy, and a third student charged at the shooters and disarmed them. Castillo was killed as he wrestled the gun away from one of the attackers. The third hero was shot twice but he is expected to survive his injuries.
In a May 8 press conference, Spurlock said he initially identified the 2nd shooter as a male in a press release. “We originally thought the juvenile was a male by appearance,” the sheriff said. “I did the press release very early on before the detectives were able to get medical … were able to speak to her.”
In social media posts, Erickson described himself as a LGBT male. He bowed his head during most of the court proceedings on Wednesday. His hair was dyed with purple streaks.
Friends described Erickson as an autistic loner who may be a MtF transgender.
In a Facebook post, Erickson reportedly hated President Trump and heaped praise on former President Barack Obama.
He also criticized Christians in one post.
“You know what I hate? All these Christians who hate gays, yet in the bible, it says in Deuteronomy 17:12-13, if someone doesn’t do what their priest tells them to do, they are supposed to die. It has plenty of crazy stuff like that. But all they get out of it is “ewwwwww gays.”
SHOOTING SUSPECT: Devon Erickson, one of the two suspects allegedly responsible for the deadly Colorado school shooting, made his first appearance in court, keeping his head down for most of it and expected to return to court Friday when charges are filed. https://t.co/eqLonDAwLL pic.twitter.com/T0nTGjk64L

What in the actual f*ck. No words.
I’m so confused. Is the person in the photo the FTM or is that the male? Actually, Idc. Whoever it is, they’re white. They’ll do the mental health/LGBTQ pity narrative. They won’t be labeled terrorists, thugs or monsters.
I need to go purchase some apple cider vinegar drinks so I can detox.
I hate Trump too! However, unlike Trump I don’t stand for violence. We need to do something to protect our kids.
Online k-12 is the only option i can think of. Ijs
#ParentsSayNoToStudentLoans #ItsAScam
All angry people,
PLEASE talk to Jesus or a licensed therapist about your issues and pain. K1lling others or animals will not resolve your problems. They will only multiply. Help yourself and keep others safe.
Are you serious? because I recall most of the liberals like MAD Maxine calling for violence so you are contradicting yourself.Stop trolling?
Smh ????? fix it Jesus
Liberalism is a disease… please God cure i!!! If they aren’t lying abut being attached they are attacking the innocents.
Even if kids have to come to school earlier, metal detectors and licensed security should be in all schools to do screenings.
James Holmes had orange hair…Are this kids part of demonic cult?
https://media.giphy.com/media/mlFyEs1PyeRQ4/giphy.gif
Oh you just had to mention President Obama as if he’s the reason these dumb bastards did this…The 18 YO in the picture looks like he’s in his mid-thirties.
Damn. He’s about to be a bust down jailiana. https://media3.giphy.com/media/yW887f6kC3SKY/giphy.gif
So because they weren’t accepted they decided to go on a killing spree. Mental illness is real!
What does being gay have to do with his evil behavior? I am a heterosexual black woman with nappy hair who discriminated against by both whites, and black men because my hair is short and nappy and I’m not light skin but I’m not going go around killing people.
NRA-loving Republicans are so “pro life” that they don’t even take care of the kids once they get here!
How you arguing for the rights of a fetus, but not the kids who are already here fearing for their safety?!
They can keep their raggedy “thoughts and prayers.” The day before this took place Beto O’Rourke spoke to a kid fearing for her safety at school.
Or send them to black schools.
L0L! You’ve accepted yourself. So many others haven’t and/or they hate what they see.
Most importantly mass shootings is still an issue with white males.
You’re beautiful btw. Nappy hair and all! https://media0.giphy.com/media/GXFDStd2CP1ba/giphy.gif
“How you arguing for the rights of a fetus, but not the kids who are already here ”
What do we do with the children who are available for adoption? Just look the other way?
Glitches!
Thank you. I know my worth.
Yes
Imma start running when I see wyte boys with K00lAid hair. I don’t care what I’m doing…it can wait.
Maaan. The state/government often times are throwing these kids away. Too many recent stories of failed parenting, failed foster care, failed education, failed prevention.
But please, argue for this fetus’ rights who doesn’t even have toenails yet! Petty, I know, but still! LOL
maaannnn……what kills me is how white folks always want to associate violence with black and Hispanic people…when all of the school/church/synagogue mass murders are committed by privileged white kids…..these white folks are “scared” of the hood….”scared” of black children….Dump claims that the Hispanics are violent …smdh….seem like they need to be scared of their own chaps….
I C what U did there.
When they start taking all these kids in maybe I’ll give them 15minutes of my time.
He DO look old as hell, don’t he? Yikes.
Purple hair doesn’t flatter everybody.
I am a heterosexual black woman with nappy hair

Unless she get pulled over by a angry white officer
Exactly. Thats why I am happy. One of the happiest days in my life when I decided no more perms. I love me. I m not going hurt myself, or surgical ly enhance my body, or spend my hard earned money for lightning skin cream, or I will beg no black man to treat me the same way he treats the light skin women or hurt someone else just because. I love me.
No shocker since they breed home terrorist killers.
They should’ve taken themselves out not innocent people smh, prayers for Mr. Castillio’s family.
What happened? Why the hashtag signature?
MS ROSE…….Can we please get a story on three black children ages 5..4..1 years old shot in the head by White Police Officers in Oklahoma… PLEASE!!!
Let’s pray not.
It’s such a blessing to be grateful for who you are…to know that you’re unique and good enough.
Say what nah? https://media2.giphy.com/media/BxnvmKtXplKz6/giphy.gif

Moral of the story… Stay away from anyone white from Colorado with colored hair!
https://media3.giphy.com/media/3o7527pa7qs9kCG78A/giphy.gif
Stop bullying people. This generation are sensitive unstable beings.
Yeah, We praying against that.
My spirit is not taking that on today. No ma’am pam. I’m still annoyed at Sandra Bland video from this week
hmmm white males are more entitled than they are sensitive.
I do not know all the details…my sister just told my this morning.
Nothing happened, just don’t want to see students wind up getting themselves in unncessary debt like myself and plenty of others when they can work and pay for classes as they go; unless they are in a guranteed job field, such as nursing.
So let’s see… This will become a mental illness case which will render this “gender alterer” a 6 months psych eval.. released to parents with 6 month probation then released go on excursion sitting the world to heal and in 5 years kill they’re white family and commit suicide because the Christians are mean.
Im sure your hair is FINE. Nope. https://media0.giphy.com/media/1mssETVERC1whzkCVh/giphy.gif
Your hair and complexion is not the reason black and white men don’t want you. Get a clue https://media1.giphy.com/media/3oz8xWOitDa2f7BHCU/giphy.gif
LOL
Sounds about right…but don’t forget the bullying theory!!!
No, that about sums it up.
wait….what????? Omg…my heart just dropped….I canna with the babies…too much…just too much….
I bet this shyt will be straight muted,since it involves not only another liberal but it also involves a homosexual.
#1 Domestic terrorists stike AGAIN https://media2.giphy.com/media/F2gYWIcuEXFeg/giphy.gif
Liberal hate Groups are on the rise and Americans need to be locked and loaded inorder to protect themselves against these liberal wack jobs mascarading as sjw’s. They are a shit stain on humanity and they are all in need of a mental health check. Take all the guns away from these unstable liberal creatures. Malcolm X was a prophet and he warned us about them.
in 5 years kill they’re white family and commit suicide because the Christians are mean.
____________________
Sounds about WHITE….
I said I was discriminated against not that any one did not want me. I have two beautiful children because someone did. So what clue are yu referring to.
Unfortunately we have a lot of wack jobs roaming the country…smh
???? For the Castillo family who lost there only son to this nonsense…and hoping quick recovery for the others.
????
Even Beyonce s Father, even said that his daughter would not be as popular if she were darker. So what clue?
The person in the photo is the male. The sixteen year old accomplice is a girl that identifies as a boy. Her photos are unavailable due to age
That GIF that you are showing are biracial women and men showing of their natural hair.
See previous comment for whatever the issue you’re having with black and white men. Biracial? Would you like for me to find another GFI of darker black woman? Clue ….feminine and friendly goes a long way
I applaud the young men who fought back, very sad for those who lost life God bless their souls. In active shooter training they tell you to gang up and go at the shooter.
That is why Cardi B reigns supreme over greater female rappers. Its certainly not because she is the greatest rapper. She can’t even sing. What clue?
This is what happens in America when you are raised by parents who are more afraid of you then you are of them…these kids dont have “the fear” of their parents or their elders..this “everybody gets a medal for participation” generation have everything given to them for mediocrity…they think they are entitled to kill people because someone said something mean to them…yt people are raising these types of cowards everyday but stay talking about the super predators coming over from Mexico…Chile please…
No, I have an issue with your comments. I don’t have issues with black men and white men. I take issue with discrimination. The GIF you shown was with biracial men and women.
Boom ?
Liberal hate groups have been on the rise since President Trump was elected.
Malcolm X did indeed warn the masses.
You are saying with that GIF because I’m not biracial I’m not wanted. That is why we have issues.
White people MUST GO ! Bottle them all up in a giant rocket and take their weird, nasty, bologna smelling asses to Mars and NEVERRRRR come back. When I was teaching high school, I made sure to never teach at an all white school. These folks crazy. They gotta go.
These liberal nutjobs can dish it but most definitely can’t take it.
Most leftists are quite stupid politically because they watch Fake News….. Fake News has these fools believing there are no terrorists on the left because it is NEVER shown on Fake News.
Message! I totally understand.
Dem homegrown mofo are the most dangerous
Oh so now you are saying in the GIF these women are more feminine and I m less feminine. So being biracial makes them more feminine and friendly and black female s like me, according to yu are less friendly.
Well we know they are white how they protect white perpetrators identity… if they were black their faces would be splattered all over the television and internet… American media protecting the white psychopaths.
When a crazy white person kills people they always try to justify it … like somebody was really bothering them to the point of just going out there to shoot some shit up.
No one ever interviews or asks why to a murderous black person only murderous white people they try to find a reason or an excuse.
Keep talking.
No it sounds about WHITE.
I doubt the black guy who threw the white kid over the balcony at the Mall of America will get to use the mental illness defense.
It’s funny because you could have been describing Trump.
That is exactly why Lil Kim changed her features so drastically. Her features kept changing in order to stay relevant.
Maybe, just maybe it is time to install metal detectors in “their” schools. They love making urban schools look violent and dangerous, yet we’ve never had this happen in our schools.
School shootings and mass violence are happening more now because 50 yrs ago this guy would have been in an institution as soon as it was realized he was unstable. Now we see people who are obviously mentally ill and there’s nothing no one can do until they shoot up a place. We give them meds and access to guns knowing that their minds are broken, then we act surprised and shocked when the expected happens.
You spelled girl wrong
Wow no comment from hannity barking about white on white crime and what is newt gonna do about it. No comment from the lgrbqwrfshoxyz community about being targeted for a hate crime. That text speaks about hate against ones religion Still waiting for their response on jessie n his subway sammich. I got all day.
The transgender student needs to be in an adult jail with prisoners who are the same sex as the sex the transgendered student was born as!
Ya know, Devon Erickson reminds me of James Holmes the guy who shot up the Aurora, Colorado theatre during the Batman movie in 2012. He also sat in court with Orange crazy hair and had a blank deranged look. Vigilant Citizen was right about April/May being the two deadliest months of the year, mostly April with May not lagging too far behind.
Yep then the lgtbqasrhdfxyz will finally say something
You guys can thank the lbgt and aclu for these quacks walking the streets
No y’all arent gonna have me up here crazy as a bed bug, talking about “up is down and down is up.” When I look at this kid I see a male. Biology already assigns males, male features testosterone and other biological identifiers. If he was taking estrogen and looked like a female I would most likely call him a she. If you have to tell me what gender you are, thats a problem within itself and thats not my fault.
Well HE has a uterus..do what u will with that info
Lolololol, do you see my confusion? A mess.
We the people need to start suing the ACLU for all this nonsense. They take things too far. Now a person can say they wanna do something like this but we can’t hold them or evaluate them until they act on it or actually say they WILL do it. They have a right to terrorize the public and instill fear but we have no recourse until they act.
Notice how quickly this story disappeared from the MSM when we learned the shooters were transvestites/gay.
Transvestites are mentally ill and prone to outbursts. The only reason this don’t happen more often is because they are only 0.6% of the population.
Oh, I forgot. Some of you all believe feminine and friendly is weak. Carry on…… https://media.giphy.com/media/l378uGHV8OxpwZzlC/giphy.gif
Get a clue…
https://media.giphy.com/media/5QYiYxmuWXC3AaA0ZB/giphy.gif
Yeah, Devon Erickson does seem to have that James Holmes vibe.
I don’t care whether what they are! Once again WHITE (terrorist) people shooting up schools.
Murderous, Gay and White … yep the American media going to cover this 1 on up….. Bad for the image of whiteness…
Be happy you’re not wanted by these Aids infested humans.
Nature loves you and that’s what matters. Let these human give each other Aids and ypy focus on the beauty of nature.
You Are Miss Universe.
Thugs strike again.
they are confused and dangerous. death penalty please…
Right. When will the medical community admit adding hormone therapy to their already confused state of mind is dangerous both to themselves and others?
People will not leave Obama out of there mess will they smh..
Mental illness again.
Our governor in Illinois has extended Medicaid so that Transg. can have reassignment surgery. It’s a Democratic state. Now the next state over, Iowa refused to extend Medicaid for the surgery. Reassignment surgery is cosmetic surgery. It’s not necessary and no insurance companies will cover cosmetic surgery, nor will they cover reassignment surgery.
I’m always happy to see April go…September too.
They’re trying to colonize Mars as quickly as they can!
I guess you forgot to mention the children were inside a getaway vehicle, driven by their father, an armed robbery suspect, who ran into two cops attempting vehicular homicide. Cops fired and children were hit.
So this weirdo transitioned from female to male to be a gay man..
I can certainly understand.
There’s always some turmoil…like the Titanic or Adolf Hitler being born & dying.
I was trying to follow the story but I am confused. Is one a gay male and the other a girl transitioning to be a guy?
Yes, those events happened around the month of April.
If I’m not mistaken I think Osama Bin Laden was killed in the month of May?. So much chaos.
