High School Shooting, Red Lake, Minnesota Options

[onenonly101]

There was a school shooting in Minnesota yesterday on a reservation, the boy shot and killed his grandparents then killed 5 students,one teacher, and a security gaurd. Then, like a coward killed himself. I cannot fathom what is wrong with this world today, people seem to think the only way to solve a problem is to kill the person causing you problems. Most of the people did nothing wrong AT ALL they just came to school on the wrong day i guess. This place is messed up, i cannot wait until Jesus comes back.

Here is the Story

(CNN) -- A Minnesota Indian reservation is trying to overcome "shock and disbelief" as it looks for reasons why a high school student went on a shooting rampage Monday, killing nine people and wounding as many as 13 others before killing himself.

Police said the student, Jeffrey Weise, killed two of his grandparents, went to his high school and killed seven people there.

The dead include five students, a female teacher, a male security officer.

Floyd Jourdain, chairman of the Red Lake Ojibwa Nation, said he "knew practically all the people involved" in the shootings on the Red Lake Indian Reservation in northern Minnesota. The community is dealing with "shock and disbelief," he said.

"This is a small community," he said. "There will not be one soul who isn't touched by this tragedy here in Red Lake."

"It still hasn't sunk in," he said.

About 5,000 members of the Ojibwa tribe live on the reservation. The Ojibwa are also known as the Chippewa.

Jourdain would not comment further on the case, saying the FBI had scheduled a news conference.

FBI Special Agent Paul McCabe said Monday that the FBI thought the shooter was acting alone.

The slain students were shot in one room of the school, he said.

"Apparently, he walked down the hallway shooting and then he entered a classroom, he shot several students and a teacher, then himself," said Roman Stately, with the Red Lake Fire Department, who arrived at the high school moments after the shootings Monday.

Witness Sondra Hegstrom described the gunman grinning and waving, according to The Pioneer of nearby Bemidji, Minnesota.

"I looked him in the eye and ran in the room, and that's when I hid," she told the newspaper.

Teacher Diane Schwanz told The Pioneer that the shooter tried to break through the door to her classroom.

"I just got on the floor and called the cops," Schwanz told the paper. "I was still just half-believing it."

The shootings occurred about 3 p.m. (4 p.m. ET) in Red Lake High, a school of 300 students that is on a sovereign Indian reservation near the Canadian border about 240 miles north of the Twin Cities.

The FBI said Weise apparently shot his grandmother and grandfather to death at their home on the reservation before going to the school. The grandfather was a veteran of the reservation's police department, and his police-issued weapon was used in the rampage, the FBI said.

Weise was 17, school board member Kathryn Beaulieu, told The Associated Press.

Tribal authorities closed the reservation after the shootings, AP reported.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty expressed his condolences.

"We ask Minnesotans to help comfort the families and friends of the victims who are suffering unimaginable pain by extending prayers and expressions of support," his office said in a statement.

Damn... I spent 5 months in an emotional growth school somewhere isolated in Northern Idaho, if I was still there when it happened...rap sessions (group therapies) would face a load more drama... My condolences go out to the loved ones of the victims and the gunman's families. May he be forgiven for his actions and may they all rest in peace...:(
