BEMIDJI, Minn. - A high school student went on a shooting rampage on an Indian reservation Monday, killing his grandparents at their home and then seven people at his school, grinning and waving as he fired, authorities and witnesses said. The suspect apparently killed himself after exchanging gunfire with police.
It was the nation’s worst school shooting since the Columbine massacre in 1999.
One student said her classmates pleaded with the gunman to stop shooting.
“You could hear a girl saying, ’No, Jeff, quit, quit. Leave me alone. What are you doing?” student Sondra Hegstrom told The Pioneer of Bemidji, using the name of the suspected shooter.
Before the shootings at Red Lake High School, the suspect’s grandparents were shot in their home and died later. There was no immediate indication of the gunman’s motive.
In addition to the shooter, the death toll at the school included five students, a teacher and a security guard, FBI spokesman Paul McCabe said in Minneapolis.
They're calling it the worst school shooting since columbine. Its been all over the news all day here, its very sad because the violence up there has been getting worse and worse and people said that they could forsee this coming, one women had even said she thought it would happen at the high school.
