Platte Canyon shooter may have used MySpace
Net opens doors for predators:
Police are investigating whether transient Duane Morrison may have found Platte Canyon High School hostage victims on MySpace.com, Colorado Attorney General John Suthers said Monday.
But there’s one thing Suthers said he’s sure of: With 70 million subscribers to the social-networking website, including millions of teens, many online predators are lurking. Suthers spoke at a training session led by Microsoft Corp. to teach police and school officials to better fight online predators.
“I’m still waiting for some confirmation on Morrison,” Suthers said. “(But) I find parents and grandparents are scared about the safety of their children on the Internet.”
Police still are not clear about why Morrison, 53, took six teenage girls hostage at Platte Canyon High in Bailey on Wednesday before fatally shooting 16- year-old Emily Keyes and turning the gun on himself.
A student told police that Morrison asked him about the identities of a list of students before going into the school.
I was unable to find a MySpace for Morrison but if anyone knows where it is please post it in the comments.
