Here are some details about the mass casualty event that took place yesterday morning. I will continue to gather more info before doing a full report on the event. Keep in mind, the #1 trending story in the media prior to yesterday morning was Gaza and Israel’s responsibility for the murder of 60 unarmed protesters this past Monday.
So far there are ten people reported dead as a result of this event. 9 students and one substitute teacher. A police officer was wounded along with about 8 other students.
It is still unclear how the events unfolded and how the suspect, Dimitrios Pagourtzis, 17, was taken alive after killing so many kids and wounding an officer.
Just like in Parkland, the school fire alarm went off and a few minutes later, shots were heard by students both outside and those still inside on their way out.
“Angelica Martinez, a 14-year-old student, told CNN she and her schoolmates were being evacuated at one point “like it’s a fire drill.”
“We were all standing (outside), but not even five minutes later, we started hearing gunshots,” she said. “And then everybody starts running, but, like, the teachers are telling us to stay put, but we’re all just running away.”..
“I was in the history hallway, and as soon as we heard the alarms, everybody just started leaving following the same procedure as … (a) practice fire drill,” Shrader said, breaking into tears. “And next thing you know, we just hear … three gunshots, loud explosions, and all the teachers are telling us to run.”

Apparently the suspect, Dimitrios Pagourtzis, 17, made a couple fake bombs and then “tried to use them”, according to Judge Mark Henry:
“Abbott told reporters the alleged shooter used a shotgun and a revolver that were legally owned by his father.
The shooter was hiding a shotgun underneath such a coat on Friday morning when he walked onto the campus, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said at news conference Friday afternoon.
Galveston County Judge Mark Henry told reporters Pagourtzis attempted to use explosive devices but none were functional.
Henry said “there were CO2 (carbon dioxide) cannisters wrapped up with duct tape, but no way to detonate, and a pressure cooker with an alarm clock, and some nails but no explosive device, so you’ve got to treat them like they are potentially lethal and go from there.”

Who makes fake explosives and then attempts to use them AS IF they were real? What kind of sense does that make? He supposedly used REAL guns, one of which being a shotgun. But he also was packing fake bombs? For what purpose? And then he tried to “use” them? How does one “use” a fake bomb?
The New York Times said it was “unclear” if the fake bombs went off. But he did bring them with him.
“Police said the gunman brought several of these devices into the school. It was unclear whether any went off.” New York Times
There are serious questions about the suspect’s competency to stand trial (and oh yeah, supposedly he “waived” his right to remain silent after his “capture”):
“”He was kind of a quiet kid,” Gomez said. “Every time you’d try to start a conversation with him he’d just kind of like laugh, wouldn’t really continue on with the conversation. … He didn’t like interacting with other students.”…
Poehl said his client was in solitary confinement, but that was normal for authorities to keep him there. He added that the attorneys would look at the issue of competency but, “We’ve got a lot of work to do before we can even speak intelligently about that.”

There is a victim, Rome Shubert, who claims he was shot in the head, a “thru and thru” gunshot wound, but by 2pm yesterday, he was fine and out of the hospital and Tweeting his happiness that God had spared his life.
“
I’m so greatful (sic) and blessed that god spared me life today. Today I was shot in the back of the head but i am completely okay and stable,” the tweet read.
His mother, Sheri Shubert, used her interview time with CNN to make this statement “
We have to do something. We have to take a stand. America has to take a stand for our kids.”
Here is a couple screenshot from
the interview he gave ABC13 local news, which was picked up by CNN (of course). Notice the fine work done by the emergency room staff in the hospital he says he went to......
