LONDON, March 19, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - A UK teenager who killed three family members and 
planned to outdo notorious US massacres to become "the world's most famous school shooter 
of the 21st century" was on Wednesday jailed for a minimum of 49 years.

"Your ambition was notoriety. You wanted to be known posthumously as the world's most 
famous school shooter of the 21st century," said judge Bobbie Cheema-Grubb as she sentenced 
19-year-old Nicholas Prosper, who was 18 at the time of the killings.
