How Aileen Lopera Launched A Paternity Case Against An NFL Star
Stefon Diggs is currently preparing to take on daddy duties for the baby he's going to share with Cardi B, who's currently pregnant with their child ... but it turns out he might end up being a father of three.
Diggs was recently named in a paternity suit filed by Aileen Lopera, who's claimed he's the father of her daughter Charliee, who was born in April 2025.
We're going to take a look into the background of the football player's alleged baby mama and see what she's had to say about her connection to the NFL star.
Aileen's an Influencer and Model
Lopera's made a name for herself as an influencer, and she currently has a following of 306,000 on Instagram.
The social media personality became notable for showing off her figure wearing revealing swimsuits in her various photos.
She's also branched out into the retail industry, and she currently serves as an ambassador for Fashion Nova.
Oh, and Stefon isn't the first big name she's been connected to ... as she shared a video of herself having dinner with Rob Kardashian back in 2020, according to People.
She Has a Teenage Daughter
Charliee isn't Lopera's first child, as she welcomed a daughter named Emoniee way back in the day.
The influencer's daughter occasionally showed up in her social media posts, and the first time she showed off her child was back in 2013.
The social media personality shared an affectionate Instagram post on Emoniee's 13th birthday in September 2024, and described motherhood as "the best thing that’s ever happened to me" in the post's caption.
Lopera added she considered her status as a mother-to-be "more than I ever deserved," writing she felt as if watching her kid grow up was "so wholesome."
Aileen First Filed Documents Against Stefon in 2024
Lopera initially filed court documents back in December 2024, when she claimed he was Charliee's father. She hadn't given birth to her daughter when she filed her documents, according to People.
She also requested legal and physical custody of their child, and wanted visitation rights to be granted to the athlete.
Diggs -- who's already a father of an 8-year-old named Nova -- has since requested genetic testing for the child, and he's contested his paternity of Charliee.
He's also requested joint legal and physical custody of Lopera's daughter ... if it turns out the kid is his, of course.

How D4vd Became Connected To A Dead Teenager
D4vd's rise to fame -- and infamy -- has been pretty meteoric, as the performer went from internet notoriety to real-life success.
However, the singer's career has been clouded by the recent discovery of a dead body in his car, and subsequent revelations about his alleged connections to the deceased individual.
Here's a look at how the performer made a name for himself before he became involved in the case.
He Was Born in NYC and Moved to Texas
D4vd -- legal name David Anthony Burke -- was born in Queens, New York City, and he later moved with his family to the Houston, Texas area, where he was raised.
The singer mainly listened to gospel music growing up, and he was homeschooled in his younger years, according to DIY.
The performer began his musical career after his Fortnite gaming montages were demonetized on YouTube for copyright violations.
D4vd's mother encouraged him to start making his own music for the clips, and he later began recording songs in his sister's closet using apps on his phone.
His Tracks Gained Popularity on TikTok
D4vd began sharing tracks on SoundCloud, and he released breakout single, "Romantic Homicide," in 2022, after clips from the track gained popularity on TikTok.
He later signed with Darkroom/Interscope, and he released his debut EP, titled "Petals To Thorns," in May 2023, and he started his first tour the same month.
D4vd quickly rose to fame in the music industry, as he went on to release several other singles, make guest appearances on other artists' tracks, and embark on multiple tours, both as a headliner and a supporting act.
The performer eventually released his debut album, "Withered," in April 2025, though it was preceded by the release of multiple singles.
A Chopped-Up Body Was Found in His Car in September 2025
D4vd was enmeshed in controversy in September 2025, when a chopped-up, decomposed body was found in the front trunk of a Tesla that was abandoned in the Hollywood Hills ... the Tesla was registered under his name. The car was impounded and taken to a Hollywood tow yard, where a smell emanating from the vehicle prompted the discovery of the body.
Although the singer began cooperating with authorities after they started looking into how the body ended up in the car, he was removed from an ad campaign for Hollister.
The investigation into how the body ended up in the car didn't stop D4vd from performing, however, as he kept touring and played a show in Minneapolis just a day after the body was found in the car.
The case turned even more mysterious when the body was identified on September 16, though not publicly, pending notification of next of kin ... the next day it was revealed it was a 15-year-old girl named Celeste Rivas who was reported missing in 2024.
D4vd's Since Been Linked to Celeste for Multiple Reasons
Connections between D4vd and Celeste began popping up after she was identified, and her mother told TMZ her daughter, who'd been missing ever since April 2024, had a boyfriend named David. We also revealed Celeste and the singer had matching tattoos.
We later learned the singer was seen in the area where Celeste had lived prior to her disappearance, and a photo began circulating online showing him posing next to a girl with a resemblance to the deceased individual. He also professed his love for someone named Celeste in a leaked demo track from December 2023.
D4vd ended up pausing his world tour after the girl's body was identified. LAPD officers subsequently began speaking with residents of the area where the Tesla was abandoned to find further information in the case.
Cops searched a house in the Hollywood Hills on the night of September 17 and took several items from the residence, according to ABC7.

How Laura Loomer Rose To Prominence In Right-Wing Circles
Laura Loomer's earned herself a reputation for being one of the most divisive political figures out there right now, and her past activity's been pretty hard to ignore.
The media figure made a name for herself pulling off attention-grabbing stunts before she was embraced by right-wing activists ... and grew close to President Donald Trump.
We're going to take a look at how she rose to prominence in conservative communities ... and how her online popularity hasn't translated into support at the polls.
Laura Got Her Start During Her College Days
Loomer first gained notoriety while attending Barry University in Miami in 2015, when she secretly filmed a video in which she attempted to convince school officials to let her start a "pro-ISIS" club on campus.
Loomer, who'd partnered with right-wing advocacy group Project Veritas to publicize the video, was suspended from the university, according to NBC 6 South Florida.
She's since been open about her disdain for Muslims, describing herself as a "proud Islamophobe" and calling the religion a "cancer on society," according to The Palm Beach Post.
She later handcuffed herself to the doors of the headquarters of Twitter -- the social platform now called X -- and live-streamed the action back in 2018, after claiming she had been banned by the platform for spreading "truth" about both Sharia law and Islam.
She's Promoted Conspiracy Theories -- And Became a Staunch Trump Supporter
Loomer made a name for herself for espousing some pretty attention-grabbing viewpoints, some of which she described in 2017 as "pro-white nationalism," according to The New York Times.
She's also promoted fringe theories regarding various mass shootings, the COVID-19 pandemic and immigration, among other subjects. Her political activity appears to have endeared her to President Trump, who's described Loomer as a "patriot," according to ABC News.
Loomer's made a habit out of starting pressure campaigns against government officials she's deemed to have been disloyal to Trump, several of whom have been removed from their positions.
Loomer's Tried Running for Political Office in the Past
Loomer made two unsuccessful bids for public office ... her first campaign kicked off in 2020, when she launched a congressional run in Florida’s 21st District, listing herself as a Republican.
Although she won the Republican primary, she ended up losing to Representative Lois Frankel, a registered Democrat, in the general election.
She ran in Florida's 11th District two years later, losing to Representative Dan Webster, in the GOP primary.
Loomer refused to concede after the results of that primary were released, and called herself "a winner" ... before claiming the Republican Party was "broken to its core," according to Business Insider.

How Celeste Rivas' Body Was Discovered In A Singer's Car
Celeste Rivas' name became known nationwide when we revealed her body had been found in a Tesla belonging to D4vd.
And the story's only gone deeper from there, as we found out her whereabouts had been unknown prior to the discovery of her corpse.
We're going to take a look into the deceased individual's background and check out the circumstances surrounding her death.
Celeste Was Originally From California
Celeste was last seen in April 2024 in Lake Elsinore, California, about an hour and a half southeast of Los Angeles.
Her mom spoke to us shortly after her daughter's body was identified and said her daughter had been missing for more than a year, and that she was only 13 when she vanished.
Celeste had a tattoo reading "Shhh..." on her right index finger -- and D4vd has an identical tattoo on his right index finger.
Her mom also stated her daughter had a boyfriend named David at the time of her disappearance.
Her Body Was Badly Decomposed When It Was Found
Celeste's body was discovered in September 2025 in the front trunk of a Tesla at a tow yard in Hollywood.
The car had been at the tow yard for several days after it was abandoned on a residential street in the Hollywood Hills. LAPD officers found the body after they received a report about a foul odor emanating from the vehicle at the impound lot.
Celeste's body was located in a bag stored in the Tesla's front trunk. It had been chopped up and was in a state of advanced decomposition when it was found.
Authorities did not immediately release the dead person's name ... describing the body as a female about 5 feet 1 inch tall, weighing about 70 pounds, with wavy dark hair, with the previously described tattoo.
We confirmed the Tesla was registered in Hempstead, Texas, to D4vd's real name, David Anthony Burke.
Celeste's Body Was Found September 8
Authorities confirmed Celeste's body was found on September 8, according to NBC News.
Law enforcement sources told us D4vd claimed he had no idea anything had gone wrong, and we were also told he was cooperating with authorities in the investigation.
D4vd was in the middle of his world tour when the news about the body being found was revealed, and although he performed several dates after the news broke, he canceled his show in Seattle scheduled for September 17, the day Celeste's body was formally identified.
The LAPD has since searched the area where the singer's Tesla was found, and they're asking local residents for any information they have regarding the incident.

How Marcus Jordan Got Into and Out of Legal Trouble
Marcus Jordan's relationship to his father, Michael, is already reason for attention ... but make no mistake, he's had some interesting times of his own.
The athlete's son tried his hand at sports before establishing himself as an entrepreneur and really building a public profile, after he began a high-profile relationship with a reality television star.
Here's a look at how the media figure found himself in the eyes of the public ... just not always for the best of reasons.
Marcus Moved From College Basketball to Television
Marcus briefly followed in the footsteps of his father, as he played basketball for the University of Central Florida, making his debut with the school's team in 2009.
The athlete's son remained with UCF for three years, although he left the team and the school before his senior season.
Marcus later opened a shoe store, Trophy Room, at Disney Springs in Florida in 2016 ... although the location ended up closing down in 2019.
He eventually started working in reality television, and he competed on the second season of "The Traitors," where he was eliminated early on in the competition.
He Formerly Dated Larsa Pippen
Marcus' love life has also been the subject of interest from fans, as he was formerly in a relationship with Larsa Pippen, with whom he was first spotted in 2022.
Larsa -- whose ex-husband Scottie was a former teammate of Marcus' dad -- made her new relationship Instagram official in January 2023.
Although Larsa and Marcus briefly split up in February 2024, they eventually reconciled and were back on after just two months.
However, the reconciliation didn't last, and Larsa claimed her relationship with Marcus was "off" while speaking to Entertainment Tonight in July 2024.
Marcus Has Been in Trouble With the Law in the Past
Marcus has dealt with law enforcement on a few occasions, and he was made to pay a fine of $250, as well as court costs, after he pleaded no contest to disturbing the peace after having an argument with a woman at a hotel in Nebraska in 2012, according to the Associated Press.
Michael's son's legal problems didn't stop there, as Marcus was arrested in Florida in February 2025 and booked on for resisting arrest, DUI, and cocaine possession.
We later learned Marcus decided to name-drop his dad while speaking with police, and he apparently requested Mariah Carey songs to be played while he was in custody, which would have been a pretty tall order, given the circumstances.
He eventually cut a plea deal to close out his DUI case, and in addition to various penalties, he's going to have to pen an apology letter to his arresting officer.

How Jamie Spears Earned The Ire Of His Daughter Britney's Fans
Britney Spears has accumulated thousands of fans over the course of her singing career ... although many of her fans attributed the winding down of her professional life to the actions of her father, Jamie.
The performer's father held control over her controversial conservatorship for several years, and even though it eventually ended, his conflict with his daughter continued for a while longer, much to the chagrin of the singer's fanbase.
We're going to take a look into the background of the singer's dad and see how he ended up having a prolonged conflict with his daughter.
Jamie Formerly Owned a Construction Business
Jamie's originally from Louisiana, and he held several jobs during Britney's early years, some of which included taking off for multi-month periods to perform welding work at oil refineries.
The singer's father eventually started a construction business, which became successful in the 1980s.
Jamie branched out into the fitness space and ran a wellness spa and gym with his wife, Lynne, and he briefly owned and managed a seafood restaurant, which he gave to his son, Bryan.
He also struggled with alcoholism through the years, and he went to rehab to deal with his issues in 2004, according to The New York Times.
He Took Control of the Conservatorship in 2008
Britney's erratic behavior came to a head starting around 2007, when she went through several troubling incidents in the public eye ... such as when she shaved her head and hit a photographer's car with an umbrella, and she was placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold on two separate occasions.
Britney was placed under a temporary conservatorship in February 2008, with her father in charge, which was extended indefinitely in October 2008. The conservatorship would last for nearly 14 years.
The singer's father received a salary of around $16,000 a month during his time as a conservator, and he was also the recipient of various percentages of grosses and commissions from his daughter's shows and residencies.
Jamie was joined by attorney Andrew Wallet, who served as the co-conservator of Britney's estate, and her former agent and fiancé Jason Trawick, who held partial control of the singer's personal life, in managing the conservatorship.
Jamie Stepped Down in 2019 -- Before the Conservatorship Was Terminated
Jamie stepped down as the personal conservator in 2019 after he was allegedly involved in an incident with his grandson Sean, who Britney shares with her former husband Kevin Federline.
The incident took place around the same time as the Free Britney movement -- which sought to have the singer removed from her conservatorship -- gained serious traction with her fans.
Britney requested her father be removed from his position in the conservatorship of her estate in November 2020, according to Billboard.
Jamie and Britney went back and forth with the courts for several more months before he was suspended from the conservatorship in 2021 altogether, as well as being ordered to turn over her assets to a temporary conservatorship accountant, according to USA Today.
Jamie and Britney's Legal Battle Extended Past the End of the Conservatorship
The termination of the conservatorship in September 2021 didn't mean Jamie and Britney's conflict was over, as they began another legal battle centered on his legal fees.
Britney's lawyer claimed her father had paid himself $6 million and engaged in financial misconduct over the course of the conservatorship, according to The New York Times.
Britney and Jamie eventually settled their issues in April 2024, although the terms weren't revealed to the public.
Jamie's lawyer issued a statement at the time and said his client was "thrilled" about the end of his legal issues with his daughter.

How Damon Dash Ended Up Dealing With Bankruptcy
Damon Dash has seen his fair share of ups and downs while navigating the music biz, which he entered way back in the day.
The entrepreneur's worked -- and fallen out -- with some of the biggest names in the industry, and he's managed to pick himself up after every setback ... a few of which included money troubles.
We're going to check out how the record executive made a name for himself and how he ended up having to deal in a precarious financial situation.
Damon Cofounded Roc-A-Fella Records
Damon's time in the music industry kicked off back in 1996, when he co-founded Roc-A-Fella Records alongside Jay-Z and Kareem "Biggs" Burke.
Dash's professional relationship with the rapper eventually deteriorated, and the two split up after Jay-Z left Roc-A-Fella to join Def Jam Records, before he bought the executive out of their clothing line Rocawear, according to New York Magazine.
Damon eventually branched out, and founded several other clothing lines before he started working in film and television.
He's also started a rock group, The Black Guns and Freeway, and they released their debut album, "365," in June 2025.
He's Been Through Several Relationships
Damon's love life has been the subject of interest from fans, especially since he was formerly in a relationship with Aaliyah, which lasted until she died in a plane crash in 2001.
In 2005, he tied the knot with Rachel Roy, with whom he shares daughters Ava and Tallulah, and they remained married until 2009, when they split up and began a drawn-out legal battle regarding the custody of his daughters.
Damon later got engaged to Rachel Horn, and they welcomed a son named Dusko in November 2020.
Oh, and the music industry executive is also a father to a pair of older sons named Damon II and Lucky.
Damon Declared Bankruptcy in 2025
Damon's had a few money troubles through the years, and the state government of New York actually bought a one-third share of Roc-A-Fella in 2024 in an attempt to recoup some of the executive's back taxes, according to the New York Post.
And the issues only grew from there, as he filed for bankruptcy in September 2025. Damon claimed he was $25.3 million in debt, had no monthly income, and was only worth $4,350 when he filed for bankruptcy. He also owes almost $648,000 in domestic support obligations to both Roy and his former girlfriend Cindy Morales.
Dash's attorney, Brian D. Zinn, spoke to the L.A. Times and claimed the bankruptcy filing was actually a protective measure, which would allow Damon a bit of "breathing room to organize his finances."

How Annah Gore Briefly Kept Her Marriage To An NFL Star Secret
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and his wife Annah Gore might have been pretty private about their relationship at first, but now it looks like they've gotten used to sharing a bit more about their personal lives over the past few years.
The professional athlete and his spouse kept mum about their romance for a while, but after the news about their union was leaked, plenty of the athlete's fans wanted to learn more about his partner.
We're going to take a look at the background of the NFL star's wife and see how her love story with the athlete took place behind closed doors ... at least, for a while.
Gore and Tagovailoa Both Attended the University of Alabama
You know how a big part of relationships is having things in common? Well, it turns out Gore and Tagovailoa are fans of the Crimson Tide, because they both attended the University of Alabama.
And just in case you didn't know, the quarterback actually played three seasons on the school's football squad before he was drafted by the Dolphins.
Plus, there's a pretty good chance Gore saw her future husband play in her college days, as she shared a photo from a Crimson Tide game on her Instagram account way back in 2018.
And as far as her background goes, she grew up in the South, attending high school in North Carolina.
Annah and Tua Kept Their Relationship Under Wraps at First
Gore and Tagovailoa didn't wait too long to make things official between them, tying the knot in July 2022, but didn't make the info about their union publicly available at the time.
The thing is, the news about their marriage leaked in August 2022, and the quarterback wasn't exactly happy about the revelation, as he stated he wanted to keep his personal life "as private as possible" at a training camp, according to the New York Post.
The pair didn't go Instagram official until the following year, when Gore shared a photo featuring her husband on her account commemorating their first anniversary.
Gore and Tagovailoa have been a bit more open about their relationship since then, as he's occasionally been featured in photos shared on her Instagram account.
Annah and Tua Share Two Children
The pair welcomed a son named Ace just a month after they got married.
Gore and Tagovailoa decided to expand their family further, and she gave birth to a girl named Maisey in 2023.
The quarterback's been open about how his family life has affected his approach to football, and he told Sports Illustrated he'd had "conversations" with his wife about leaving the sport after suffering multiple concussions.
However, he admitted he wanted to remain in the NFL at least until his son "knew exactly what he was watching his dad do."

Marcus Jordan's had tons of fun times over the past few years ... and it wouldn't be unfair to think he shared a lot of them with his ex-girlfriend Larsa Pippen.
Jordan and his ex-partner, who was formerly married to NBA royalty, maintained an on-again-off-again relationship for several years before they split up for good -- and she moved on with another athlete.
Here's a look at how Larsa built a public profile for herself through various projects ... and relationships.
Larsa's a Reality Television Mainstay
Larsa made a name for herself on "The Real Housewives of Miami," debuting on the Bravo program in 2011.
Although she was absent for the show's second and third seasons, she rejoined its cast at the start of its fourth season, and she's remained with the program ever since.
Larsa's embarked on several other ventures in addition to her work in reality television ... she founded a jewelry brand called Larsa Marie, and became an investor in OLUJO Tequila, which launched in June 2025.
She's also established a reputation for being pretty open with her fanbase ... because she's maintained an OnlyFans account for several years.
She Started a Family With Scottie Pippen
Larsa's love life has been the subject of intense attention from her fans, especially after she tied the knot with Scottie Pippen back in 1997, when she was only 23 years old.
The couple welcomed several children over the course of their marriage, namely their three sons Scotty Jr., Preston, and Justin, and their only daughter, Sophia.
Larsa and Scottie's relationship wasn't always smooth, and they began divorce proceedings in 2016, although they eventually changed their minds and stayed together.
However, they eventually ended their marriage in 2021, and their relationship concluded on amicable terms.
Larsa Dated the Son of an NBA Legend
Larsa didn't stray too far from the NBA after her split with Scottie, because she ended up dating Marcus -- whose father, Michael, actually played with her ex-husband!
The reality television figure and the athlete's son were first linked in September 2022, when they were spotted at a restaurant in Miami on what appeared to be a double date.
The pair was spotted together on several occasions after that, before they made their relationship Instagram official in January 2023.
Larsa and Marcus remained together for just over a year before they went their separate ways in February 2024, and although they briefly reconciled, she eventually moved on with another figure from the basketball world.
She Eventually Started Dating Jeff Coby
So, it kind of looks like Larsa's got a bit of a type ... because she started dating former pro basketball player Jeff Coby in 2025!
In case the name's unfamiliar, Jeff played ball for Columbia University, spent a little bit of time in the G League, and played for various international teams.
Although they kept things low-key at first, Larsa and Jeff eventually let everyone know about their romance when he accompanied her to the premiere of "The Accountant 2" in April 2025, according to People.
The two haven't exactly been shy about sharing their affection for one another ever since they started dating -- like when they locked lips at her birthday party in July 2025!

How Oblique Seville Became The World's Fastest Man
Oblique Seville's been through his fair share of ups and downs on his path to becoming the world's fastest man -- and we're here to check all of them out.
The Jamaican sprinter didn't earn constant victories over the course of his career, but his hard work paid off, as he eventually took home the gold at one of the most high-profile track and field competitions out there.
Here's a look at how the athlete put in plenty of effort before becoming a world champion.
Oblique Was Born and Raised in Jamaica
Oblique's originally from Kingston, and his interest in racing began at an early age, according to the Olympics' official website.
The athlete started racing older opponents as far back as his kindergarten days, and although he briefly considered dropping the sport in high school, he picked it back up after coaches began noticing his talent.
His professional career kicked off in 2019, when he won gold in the 100-meter dash at the CARIFTA Games and the Pan-American U20 Championships.
Oblique's mother claimed her son, despite being "extremely broken" about the death of his father the year before, still managed to find the strength to compete at both sports events.
He Came Up Short at Several High-Profile Events
Oblique's Olympic career began in 2021, when he took part in the delayed 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo, although he ended up not qualifying for the 100-meter dash final.
The athlete also competed at the World Athletics Championships in 2022 and 2023, and he finished fourth in both 100-meter dash finals.
Oblique later began training with Glen Mills, who helped the world's former fastest man, Usain Bolt (also from Jamaica) -- whom the runner described as his "idol" -- reach his peak potential.
Seville competed in the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris, and coming in at eighth place in the 100-meter dash final event.
Oblique Took Home the Gold in Tokyo
Oblique's hard work eventually paid off in a big way, as he took home the gold at the 2025 World Athletics Championship in Tokyo.
The athlete came on out top at -- you guessed it -- the 100-meter dash event, where he finished with a personal best time of 9.77 seconds, according to The Guardian.
Oh, and it's worth mentioning Bolt was in attendance at the event, and Oblique admitted he felt "proud" of being able to prove himself in front of the former world champion.
And world championship or not, the runner expressed he had one goal in mind -- taking home "more gold medals" in the future!

James Comey, who also served as the 31st Deputy Attorney General of the United States, testified to the Senate Intelligence Committee about Russian activity in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
Maurene graduated from the College of William & Mary in 2010 with degrees in both history and music.

Maurene was fired from her position in the Justice Department in July 2025, and she said the memo she received "did not give a reason for my termination," according to CBS News.
She's since sued the Trump administration over her firing, and she claimed the termination was both unconstitutional and unlawful, according to NBC News.
Maurene said she'd received an email stating her termination was "[p]ursuant to Article II of the United States Constitution and the laws of the United States" in her suit. Article II deals with the president's executive power.

Desmond Holly Was Radicalized Before Becoming a School Shooter
Residents of Evergreen, Colorado were shocked by a school shooting at Evergreen High School on September 10, 2025.
The shooter was identified as 16-year-old Desmond Holly, who took his own life at the end of the violent incident. Holly was a student at the school.
We're going to take a look at the background of the shooter and see what led up to the chilling events at Evergreen High School.
Desmond Lived With His Family in a Rural Area
Holly was living with his parents at their residence in rural Kitteridge, Colorado before the shooting, according to the Denver Post.
The family lived in a mountain home accessible only by private road. They've reportedly been cooperative with investigators, according to Time.
The property was searched by law enforcement hours after the shooting, although the results of the search weren't made publicly available.
Investigators also obtained warrants to search the shooter's phone, as well as his locker.
He Had Been 'Radicalized' Prior to the Shooting
Holly reportedly held extreme political viewpoints, although the shooter's views weren't immediately detailed.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office issued a statement claiming the shooter had been "radicalized" by an "extremist network," according to The New York Times.
Although the sheriff's office didn't have any specific information about the network Holly allegedly followed, they wanted to let the public know about the "mindset" the shooter was in prior to the violent incident.
Authorities were investigating Holly's social media pages to discern further information about his political beliefs.
The Shooting Ended When Holly Died by Suicide
The shooting began at 12:24 PM, when Holly, who was armed with a revolver, began firing at students while walking through Evergreen High School's campus. His movements on the campus, as well as the methods he used to obtain the revolver, are currently under review by investigators.
Holly reportedly reloaded several times during the shooting, and two victims were wounded. They were later transported to separate hospitals, where they were each listed in critical condition.
The school went into lockdown, and officials say the shooter unsuccessfully tried to access locked-down areas of the campus.
The shooting ended when Holly turned the gun on himself and ended his own life.
The school shooting was overshadowed the same day by the shooting murder of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk in Utah.
