MSNBC is reporting 10 injured and one confirmed death. Oops, wait, no they are NOT confirming it. One injured was listed as critical, however. One gunman, in custody and HE TOLD PEOPLE (adults and kids) THAT HE WAS GOING TO DO IT. They thought he was joking and did not tell anyone else but they did talk to him sternly. Duh.

They have now confirmed two dead.
Very sad. I'd think that man who is talking to all the cameras about how this kid talked to him about shooting people is now in very deep doo-doo indeed.

A kid, apparently at someone's home this morning, went so far as to pat down the shooter because of his comments. Apparently the gun was in a backpack.

Two Confirmed Dead In Santana High School Shooting Suspect In Custody SANTEE, Calif., 12:47 p.m. PST March 5, 2001 -- Two students have been confirmed dead following a shooting Monday morning at Santana High School in Santee.
According to 10News, one victim died at the scene. The other victim -- a 15-year-old boy -- died at Grossmont Hospital. He reportedly suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head.
Thirteen victims, which included a school security guard and counselor were transported to local hospitals. The extent of their injuries was not known.
Authorities reported that the sole suspect, apparently a student, was in custody.
According to Santana High School student John Sharp, the suspect was smiling as he fired shots.
"I looked at the kid, and he was smiling and shooting his weapon," Sharp told 10News, describing the gun as a handgun with a large barrel.
The suspect had bragged to fellow students of his plan Friday and Saturday night, according to one of his friends.
"The whole weekend he was talking about it," student Josh Stephens said.
None of the suspect's friends believed him, according to Stephens.
"He's the kind of person who would never do anything like that," Stephens said.
Student Alicia Zimmer told 10News that she saw a boy lying face down on the floor, a girl with blood on her arm and another with blood on her hands.
Zimmer said that she heard shots but didn't see a shooter.
"They sounded more like a capgun," she said of the noise.
Investigators are interviewing hundreds of students, according to San Diego District Attorney Paul Pfingst.
Students were evacuated to the Del Taco restaurant in the Santana Village shopping center at the intersection of North Magnolia Avenue and Mast Boulevard.
Parents have been instructed to pick up their children at that location.
Parents may contact the school superintendent's office at (619) 644-8083. Parents can also call a parent hotline for information at (858) 565-5220.
According to 10News, a Crisis Response Team has gathered at the Teen Center in Santee at 9430 Cuyamaca Blvd. The phone number is (619) 258-4192. Counseling sevices are also available at Sunrise Church.
A SWAT team was called to the school, where they are ***essing the situation.
Meanwhile, President Bush responded to the shooting by saying "a disgraceful act of cowardice." Santana High School is located at 9915 Magnolia St. and is part of the Grossmont High School District.

More than that, I would think he's in some legal trouble. If one of my kids had died in that shooting, I'd be employing a lawyer to find out why an *adult* had forewarning of the event and chose to do nothing.
Volfie -> he's almost like an accessory by virtue of his silence, isn't he?

Hi guys, Boy, howdy, this shit gets old. Man, am I irritated.
I firmly believe that sometimes the human animal will do something *because* when sie fantasizes aloud, sie's not believed.
How many of us, at some point in our lives, ESPECIALLY in our teens, have said to friends, "Sheesh, I *told* you I was gonna do it so why you didn't believe me!"?
Can we all collectively say "Doh!"?
If one of the many people who heard this kid say he was gonna do this had forced the issue, this kid would be sitting in a shrink's office right now, instead of in a jail cell or police interview room, and 13 people wouldn't be in hospital and 2 people wouldn't be in the morgue.
But nooooooooooooo, it's so much easier to say, "Well, gosh, he's not a kid who would do something like this." Denial seems like a warm fuzzy blanket, but it's just cotton candy, and when it's stipped away, we're talking arctic temps.
Wonder what the temperature in the morgue is?

***But how do we distinguish that kid from the 1,000 other kids who say the same thing and wouldn't dream of carrying through with it? When I was in the last few years of elementary school and in junior high, every boy in my cl*** wanted to burn down the school. No one ever did, though.

/Kris It reminds me of the people who say about abusive parents, "They would *never* do anything to hurt their child".
Yeah, sure.
