In it, Halder can be seen smashing a glass door to get inside the building, prosecutors said.The tape also shows Wallace chatting with a receptionist moments before he was gunned down.In testimony Wednesday, student Jonathan Brickner said he was talking to Wallace when Halder fired.Prosecutors say Halder attacked the school because he believed a school computer lab employee hacked into Halder's Web site.A former neighbor also testified that he heard Halder say he would, "make them pay."Halder, originally from Calcutta, India, is charged with 202 felony counts, including aggravated murder and terrorism. The terrorism charge is based on a law Ohio adopted to strengthen its ability to prevent and respond to acts of terrorism after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
