High school classmates of the gunman who killed nine people early Sunday in Dayton, Ohio, say he was suspended for compiling a “hit list” of those he wanted to kill and a list of girls he wanted to sexually assault.

Mike DeWine, interrupting his speech at the vigil with chants of “Make a change” and “Do something!”
