Yee reportedly said he wouldn't mind killing kids who were planning to purchase LeBron James' new shoes that retail at $270. Reports indicate Yee said he would like to do somethingsimilar to the shooting in Aurora, Colo., where 12 people were killed and 58 were injured in a movie theater shooting.
He is being held on $1 million bail.
