Reed Wischhusen is accused of writing of a “hitman-style attack” on 10 people, shooting dead teachers and throwing bombs at his former school.
A gunman with a “macabre interest” in the Dunblane attacker built firearms and explosives for a “revenge” plan on ex-classmates before he was shot by police, a court heard.
Five officers attended the address after receiving intelligence about him converting blank firearms into lethal weapons. “Over a sustained period of time, Mr Wischhusen, who had a macabre interest in infamous killers such as Thomas Hamilton of Dunblane and Raoul Moat in the UK, and the ‘cop hater’ Ralph McLean in the US, and also in mass shootings and bombings such as the Columbine Shooting and the Oklahoma Bombing, set about attempting unlawfully to build – in his own words – a ‘small armoury’ of firearms and explosives.
Mr Rees told jurors the defendant had listed ex-classmates, teachers and police staff, who he believed had wronged him in the past, as targets. Officers attended his “unclean and neglected” address at 11am on November 28 last year, and initially discovered tools they believed could be used to adapt weapons, as well as modified guns, police body armour and ammunition, the court heard.
