The perpetrator of the shooting, a 15-year-old high school student “clearly came to kill people”, the sheriff claimed on CNN on Wednesday, noting that he had fired at least 30 bullets. “He would shoot people at point blank range, often aiming at the head or chest”, he added. The gunman went to the police inside the school itself and was taken into custody. He remained silent on the motives for his gesture, his parents having asked him not to speak to the police, according to the authorities. The student, whose identity has not been made public, used a Sig Sauer SP 2022 9mm semi-automatic pistol, purchased by his father on Friday, the day of the big Black Friday promotions, according to police.
