A gun-obsessed extremist who planned to replicate infamous mass shootings and built his own personal armoury of homemade weapons and explosives to carry out an attack has been convicted.

Reed Wischhusen, 32, of Wick St Lawrence, Weston-super-Mare, took inspiration from Raoul Moat, the Dunblane Massacre and the 1999 Columbine Massacre and built up a collection of firearms, ammunition, disguises and bombs that he intended to use.

A youth has been sentenced after he brought a knife to a school and stabbed a teacher in the stomach.

The 15-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was sentenced at Bristol Magistrates Court today (28 September 2023) to a 14-month detention and training order after pleading guilty to one count of possessing a bladed article and one count of attempting to wound with intent.

On the morning of 10 July 2023, the defendant called the police from a toilet cubicle in Tewkesbury School and told them that someone was going to stab a teacher.
