New Mexico school shooting planned by teen accused
18 Jan 2014 5:27 AM IST
‘We found evidence to believe it was thought out, and planned, prior,’ New Mexico State Police Chief Pete Kassetas told reporters.
In the latest school shooting to hit the United States, the boy allegedly burst into his school gym on Tuesday, filled with 500 of his fellow students, pulled out a gun and started shooting.
The incident finished dramatically when a teacher, himself lightly wounded in the attack, talked the shooter into putting down the gun and surrendering to police.
Berrendo Middle School remained closed Wednesday after the shooting, with residents organizing a vigil to support the two injured students. John Masterson, the teacher who stopped the shooter, sustained very minor injuries.
New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez said that one of the students, 13-year-old Kendal Sanders is now in ‘stable’ condition as she recovers following surgery for a right-shoulder injury.
