A transgender teenager with pro-Nazi views who wanted to carry out a mass shooting at school has been pictured for the first time.
Felix Winter, 18, “idolised” the killers behind the Columbine High School massacre in Colorado in the United States in 1999, which saw 12 students and a teacher killed.
A court heard Winter, a biological female who identifies as male, repeatedly spoke about doing the same at an Edinburgh secondary school, describing the “Doomsday” when Winter would “clear it out”.
But a large police investigation was launched in summer 2023 after a social media photo of Winter at school in full combat gear and carrying an imitation gun caused panic among pupils and parents.
The teenager also held racist and pro-Nazi views and had previously been referred to a UK-wide programme designed to stop people becoming terrorists.
It emerged Winter had been “radicalised”, having spent more than 1,000 hours in online contact with an extremist pro-Nazi online Discord group.
