In the parking lot of a San Fernando Valley high school, Becca Randolph arrived one morning in a carpool with three other female students. As she got out of the car, another kid, Aaron Colton, approached the group. Colton shot her point-blank with a .40 caliber handgun, then calmly walked away.
Later at home, Aaron went online to connect with his “only true companion,” a woman named Wren, to let her know he’d done as she asked. Problem is, Wren isn’t real; she’s an AI program.
