BUCKSPORT (AP) – A Bucksport teenager who was expelled from school for making a compact disc with lyrics containing graphic descriptions of a school shooting has been found guilty of a juvenile charge of terrorizing.
Eighteen-year-old Jonathan Hayes will remain in custody until he turns 20. Officials say he will likely remain at Mountain View Youth Development Center in Charleston, where he is already serving time for an unrelated robbery.
Hayes and fellow student Colton Crane were 17-year-old members of the band Double S Rydas when they wrote and performed songs on the CD, including “Shotgun Killing Spree.” It described a shooting spree inside a high school and specifically mentioned the shooting of the principal and vice principal as well as teachers and students.
The lyrics referred to Colorado’s Columbine High School and, at the end of the song, to Bucksport High School, which Hayes and Crane attended.
