^ The 15-year-old gunman has not been named publicly because he's a juvenile.
He's in custody in a juvenile facility now, but prosecutors are looking to try him on two counts (so far) of murder and several counts of attempted murder in adult court.
Students who were present say that the shooter only stopped shooting when he ran out of bullets. He used a single handgun.
The shooter's family members are reportedly defending him on Facebook; saying that he is not a monster.
His step sister posted that he was bullied and was affected by his parent's recent divorce. She describes him as a 'young boy who was always laughing, smart and loved chemistry'.
This is the 11th school shooting of 2018 and the first that resulted in fatalities.
