Colin Haynie

Colin Jeffrey "CJ" Haynie is an American teenager who allegedly shot and killed his mother and three siblings and injured his father in Grantsville, Utah on January 17, 2020. The incident is the largest mass shooting in the U.S. state of Utah in thirteen years. Attack: Police told reporters that Haynie allegedly shot and killed his mother and 12 year old sister first, around 1 pm and waited to attack the others when they arrived home. They were shot multiple times in their heads, necks and upper bodies. His 15 year old sister was killed sometime after she arrived home between 2 and 5 pm, and was shot multiple times as well. When his 14 year old brother arrived home around 5:17 pm he was shot once in the head. Haynie attacked his father when he returned home around 6:15pm but only wounded him. The father reportedly wrestled away the weapon, and was told by Haynie that his intention was to kill everyone in the house except himself, per charging documents. Victims: Haynie shot and killed his mother Consuelo Alejandra Haynie (52 years old) and his three younger siblings aged 12, 14 and 15 before wounding his father in the leg when he returned home. Not involved in the shooting was an elder brother who was at Utah Vally University. Legal: He was charged as an adult in the 3rd District Court with four counts of aggravated murder, one count of attempted aggravated murder and five counts of discharge of a firearm. During his initial appearance in court, Haynie was ordered to stay in juvenile detention facility with a bail set at $4 million. He was also issued a public defender. Aftermath: In memory of the victims, yellow ribbons and signs were posted on trees and other objects around the neighborhood and town. Two online fundraisers had been created for the family, one through GoFundMe and another through a local market. Shortly after the shooting Utah Governor Gary Herbert tweeted his condolences and urged adults with guns in their homes to make sure they were properly secured.
