Alec Mckinney’s Counselor, Teacher Testify In Hearing For Stem School Shooting Suspect
The prosecution called several witnesses to paint a picture of the damage Alec McKinney caused the day of the shooting.
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) – Testimony continued Thursday in the hearing to determine if one of the suspects in the STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting should be tried as an adult. On day four, both a counselor and a teacher testified about Alec McKinney’s, 16, behavior in school.
The counselor shared a Safe2Tell tip saying McKinney joked about suicide and cutting himself in November 2018, six months before the shooting on May 7. The counselor thought it was serious enough to call police and McKinney was taken to a hospital. But he was released the next day.
