Snipped from Cops: 2 Teens Planned Connetquot High School Killing Spree, regarding possible motive. “Franko’s social worker alerted police that Christopher… and Dana Saltzman were possibly conspiring to do harm to students,” said Sgt. Bill Doherty of the Fifth Precinct Crime Section. Doherty said Franko was allegedly set off when “unkind comments” on a Facebook were made under his name on a memorial page for two Connetquot High School students who had been killed in a car crash. It was unclear if the comments were actually made by Franko, he added. http://www.longislandpress.com/2010/05/07/cops-2-teens-planned-connetquot-high-school-killing-spree/
