School shooting suspect ‘wanted to do a Columbine’

An 18-year-old student accused of shooting five people at his high school made a reference to the 1999 massacre at Columbine High in Colorado during class earlier this year and simulated guns with his hands, a classmate said.

Authorities also said Jason Hoffman, 18, was targeting a vice principal in Thursday’s shooting at Granite Hills High School, El Cajon, California, and that he will likely be charged with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon.
