LAROSE, La. – Authorities have released a hodgepodge of disturbing items owned by the teenager who brought a gun into a Larose classroom, fired it and then turned the gun on himself.

Justin Doucet, 15, is still in critical condition and is in a coma after he shot himself on Monday, according to Lafourche Sheriff’s spokesman
Sgt. Lesley Peters.
The items found by the authorities seem to point to bigger plans that Doucet may have had.

Among those items include a picture Doucet drew of himself. Dressed with camouflage pants and shoes and an AC/DC Highway to Hell shirt in the drawing, he gave himself a title: “The LCO Gunman.” Apparently Doucet had taken cues from the 1999 Columbine school shooting. He kept a USA Today article, “10 years later, the real story of Columbine.”
“The writings suggest a very troubled person who is dealing with some anger issues who has a fascination with the antichrist, the end of the world, Nazism, Marliyn Manson, those sorts of things,” said Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre. “And this desire to carry out a Columbine-like event.”
On another page he drew what seems to be a map of a schoolroom and the surrounding area, pinpointing where the guard’s office was.
Perhaps most disturbing is an account of what Doucet had planned to do. He marked the date of the shooting in his calendar with a smiling face with a swastika for a nose, leading Webre to believe Doucet had planned for that specific date, though he said authorities aren't sure why he may have chosen it.
He writes on another page that he planned to go to the bathroom, grab his backpack, get his gear and then return to the classroom to “start the attack.”
Below, in large letters, he writes: “Ha ha ha! F--- you all. Y’all will die! I am king.” At the bottom of the page, he writes: “F--- y’all cops and world. I will commit suicide after the killings hahaha.”
Doucet also penned a letter, saying he is a “14 year old boy from America” and that he loves Germany, telling of his passion of World War II history. Several sentences and words are
furiously scratched off with a pen, one of which may signal whom the letter was intended for: the president of Germany. That interest in Nazi history goes along with many of the items that police found. They found drawings of swastikas, a list of the Nazi extermination camps such as Auschwitz, and an origami fortune teller with “Jews” written on it and a crudely drawn Star of David.
Doucet went into the school, according to Webre, with just five .25-caliber bullets. Doucet may have intended to use four to kill others and the last to shoot himself, Webre said.
“In a book there is a reference to him acknowledging that he had five shells and five bullets, and that he wanted to save one for himself,” Webre said. “There is a suggestion that if he had more firepower, he could do more damage.”
