The killers were anti-Christian and anti-sports, and sought out as victims Christians and popular athletes.  The killers planned their attack beforehand and investigators later found descriptions in their notes about their intentions to kill.  One drawing included a depiction of an attack on New York City by flying an airplane into it.
