AN autistic teenager obsessed with the Columbine High School massacre has been jailed for six years.

Felix Winter, 18, admitted two charges a breach of the peace and a charge under the Terrorism Act at the High Court in Glasgow in February.

The offences happened between June 1, 2022, and July 31, 2023, at an Edinburgh high school and elsewhere.

The court previously heard the 1999 Colorado massacre had been on the S3 curriculum for modern studies.

The teenager, who the court was earlier told was born female and is transgender, dressed up in a drama class with an imitation firearm for a film project.

He accepted it would "cause alarm" when posted on social media, due to the comments he made.

At the same court yesterday, Judge Lord Arthurson jailed Winter for what he branded a "prolonged, deeply disturbing and escalating course of criminal conduct".
