Get you facts straight before even accusing..Andre NEVER said anything about “shooting up” the school..Present the actual post .This kid was abused in school repeatedly..I had contacted Goshen schools about it at the time and they chose to do nothing but suspend him and reward the bully…He has been diagnosed with Autism..And to charge with a class 5 felony and $750,000 shows just how corrupt our judicial system is.
