Dayton gunman reportedly suspended twice during high school for compiling ‘hit list’ and ‘rape list’
The gunman killed by police in Dayton, Ohio, after fatally shooting nine people, including his sister, and wounding more than two dozen others displayed signs of hostility years earlier, his former high school classmates say. According to reports, Conner Betts was suspended twice back in high school after compiling a “hit list” of classmates he wanted to kill and a “rape list” of those he wanted to sexually assault. A former principal of the high school in Bellbrook, Ohio, told the Dayton Daily News he “would not dispute the information” that the former classmates revealed to reporters. “He knew he wasn’t normal,” one former female classmate said of Betts. “He and I talked at length about him getting help.” Meanwhile, at a news conference Sunday, just hours after the carnage, Dayton police Chief Richard Biehl and other authorities said Betts was wearing a mask, bulletproof vest and earplugs when he opened fire outside a bar, using a rifle capable of holding at least 100 rounds. “There’s nothing in this individual’s history or record that would have precluded him from purchasing that firearm,” the chief said.
