ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO, SCHOOL SHOOTER TRANSFERRED TO PSYCH HOSPITAL
^12 year-old Mason Campbell, shooter
^13 year-old Kendal Sanders, shooting victim - stable condition
^ John Masterson, the social studies teacher being hailed a hero for talking the shooter down
The 11 year-old boy who was shot is still reportedly in critical condition.
State Police Chief Pete Kassetas said Wednesday that it appeared both victims were chosen randomly (though the boy reportedly believed he was the target, according to his nurse).
Kassetas said the attack was planned in advance and the boy got the sawed-off shotgun from his family's home and had three rounds of ammunition.
The shooting lasted 10 seconds and happened in front of about 500 students.
Campbell was transferred to a psychiatric hospital in Albuquerque, following a court hearing Tuesday.
Albuquerque attorney Jason Bowles, who is related to Campbell, said:
"Our family, right now, is prayerful and thinking of the kids that were hurt and their families and praying that God will oversee this situation. Our thoughts and prayers are for those kids that were hurt".
