    10 dead, 10 wounded in shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas, explosives found on campus: Officials

    At least 10 people are dead after a 17-year-old student allegedly opened fire at Santa Fe High School in Texas this morning, sending students fleeing for their lives, the governor said.

    Ten others were wounded, including a police officer who is in critical condition, officials said.

    Gov. Greg Abbott called the shooting "one of the most heinous attacks that we've ever seen in the history of Texas schools."

    The suspect, 17-year-old Dimitrios Pagourtzis, is in custody and has been charged with capital murder, officials said. The suspect allegedly wrote in journals that he wanted to carry out the shooting and then commit suicide, but he gave himself up to authorities, according to Abbott.

    There were no warning signs and the suspect doesn't have a criminal history, officials said.

    A second individual, a person of interest, has been detained, officials said.

    Two weapons were used in the massacre -- a shotgun and a .38 revolver -- both of which appear to be legally owned by the suspect's father, the governor said.

    "I have no information if the father was aware the son had taken these weapons from the father," Abbott added.

    Explosive devices were also found at the school, and devices including a Molotov cocktail were found in a car and a home, authorities said.

    Freshman Peter Matuza was in art class this morning when he heard two explosions and ducked under a table, he said.

    The gunman shot Peter’s friend with a shotgun before turning and opening fire with a revolver, Peter told ABC News.

    Students were running and screaming and one student flipped a table over for cover, Peter said.

    Peter said he made eye contact with the suspect, noting, "he had a face of rage."

    "He could have killed me right there," he said.

    The gunman then “walked through a closet that went straight to the adjacent art room and began opening fire in there, as well,” Peter said.

    "I heard the [fire] alarms and everybody ran out,” tenth-grader Dakota Shrader told ABC station KTRK in Houston. “At first all we heard was ‘run, run,’ and next thing you know we hear, ‘boom, boom, boom.’”

    “Everybody started running,” she said, “and I tried to make it to the safest place that I could as fast as I can. I called my mom right away.”

    “She couldn’t breathe, she was having an asthma attack,” her mom added. “I didn’t even know where to find her.”

    Among the injured is school district police officer John Barnes, who is in critical condition. Barnes, a retired Houston police officer, was shot in the arm and suffered major bleeding, hospital officials said.

    Two school district officers on campus were able to confront the shooter early on, authorities said.

    As students lined up outside the building, ambulances, helicopters and federal agents swarmed the school in Santa Fe, between Galveston and Houston.

    Cameras in the school are expected to provide a lot of information, said officials.

    "I’m scared to even go back," said one student, crying. "It’s just not something that you should feel throughout the day, being scared. Especially somewhere where we say the Pledge of Allegiance."

    “It has been happening everywhere. I wasn’t surprised it happened here,” one student told KTRK. “I was just scared. I just kept running.”

    This is the sixth fatal shooting at a school since the Parkland, Florida, high school shooting that killed 17 students and staff in February. The Parkland massacre prompted a national debate about gun reform and school safety.


    Just last month students at Santa Fe High School participated in a nationwide school walkout against school gun violence. The walkout was held on April 20 -- the anniversary of the 1999 Columbine High School massacre that killed 13.

    A Santa Fe student said they read poems by a Parkland survivor, held 17 minutes of silence in honor of the 17 people killed in Parkland, and discussed ways they could raise gun violence awareness and make their voices heard.

    School shootings have "been going on too long in our country," President Trump said today from the White House.

    "Too many years, too many decades now, we grieve for the terrible loss of life and send our support and love to everyone affected by this absolutely horrific attack," he said.

    Abbott said it's time to "make sure this tragedy is never repeated ever again."

    He said roundtable discussions with parents, students and educators will be held.

    "We want to hear from everybody who has an interest in what has happened today so we can work together on putting together laws that will protect second amendment rights but at the same time ensure that our communities and especially our schools are safer places," Abbott said.

    "My prayers are with each student, parent, educator and first responder impacted,” Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said in a statement. “Our schools must be safe and nurturing environments for learning. No student should have to experience the trauma suffered by so many today and in similar events prior.”

    “We simply cannot allow this trend to continue,” she said. “Every day, the Federal Commission on School Safety is working to identify proven ways to prevent violence and keep our students safe at school. Our work remains urgent. Our nation must come together and address the underlying issues that lead to such tragic and senseless loss of life."

    Trump has ordered flags to fly at half-staff in memory of the victims.

    ABC News' Gina Sunseri, Jack Date, Aaron Katersky, Marcus Moore, Jim Scholz, Jennifer Watts, Jonah Lustig, Alyssa Pone, Meghan Keneally, Zunaira Zaki and Laura Coburn contributed to this report.

    Killing children at school with guns is the new normal... for the US at least. The rest of the world, it's pretty rare.

    Since the NRA lobby group owns the goverment, all we can do give our thoughts and prayers... which is next to useless.

    3 dead, 7 injured in New Orleans shooting; killers on the loose
    MARK OSBORNE,Good Morning America 7 hours ago




    Three people are dead and another seven were injured in a hail of gunfire outside a jazz bar in New Orleans on Saturday night.

    According to the New Orleans Police Department, 10 people were struck by bullets in the Central City neighborhood at about 8:35 p.m. local time. By the time officers arrived, three people were found on the location.

    The two men and one woman were pronounced dead at the scene, police said. The woman was shot multiple times in the back, according to the department's Twitter account.





    Of the seven others injured, three were taken to area hospitals by ambulance and four went to the hospital on their own. Five men and two women were among those injured in the shooting.

    "Through investigation, detectives determined that two unknown armed subjects believed to be wearing hooded sweatshirts allegedly approached a group of people standing outside of a business and opened fire, striking 10 of the individuals," New Orleans police said in a statement.

    The two suspected shooters are still on the loose.

    The shooting took place outside a strip mall with a Cricket wireless store, fried chicken restaurant, Money Mart financial services location and the Jazz Daiqauri's & Lounge jazz bar.





    "There is no place in New Orleans for this kind of violence," New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said in a statement. "I speak for everyone in our City when I say we are disgusted, we are infuriated, and we have had more than enough. Three more lives — gone. It has to end. This happened near my neighborhood, on the edge of Broadmoor. It’s unacceptable anywhere.

    "We are grateful to those on the scene tonight: the NOPD, EMS, the chaplains and the social workers," she added. "We will dedicate every resource necessary to ending this horror and seeing justice done."

    The shooting took place about three miles southwest of the French Quarter and Bourbon Street.

    The New Orleans Advocate reported the shooting was being investigated as gang-related, and said other gang shootings have taken place in the area before.

    'The worst I've ever seen it': 11 shot dead, 63 more wounded in Chicago over the weekend

    - Chicago experienced one of the most violent weekends of the year, with 11 people shot dead and 63 more wounded between August 3 and 6.
    - Thirty people were shot in three hours early Sunday in Chicago.
    - Two people were killed and 28 were wounded between midnight and 3 a.m., including at least 13 teenagers.
    - There have been 339 homicides in the city so far in 2018, with 285 people killed as a result of gun violence.

    Chicago experienced one of the most violent weekends of the year, with 11 people fatally shot and 63 more wounded between 3 p.m. Friday afternoon and 6 a.m. Monday morning, according to the Chicago Tribune.

    In one three-hour span early Sunday, 30 people were shot, with five mass shootings of three or more victims accounting for 25 of the casualties, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

    Two people were killed and 28 were wounded between midnight and 3 a.m., including at least 12 teenagers, one of whom was shot in the head and killed, the Sun-Times reported.

    According to police, the shooting with the most victims left eight people wounded in a South Side neighborhood after a group of men walked up to the eight people standing in a courtyard and opened fire, the Sun-Times reported .

    Four of the victims were teenage girls; all were expected to survive.

    Less than two hours later, six more people were shot, including five teenagers, when two men walked up to a group of people on a sidewalk in a Southwest Side neighborhood and started shooting, the Sun-Times reported .

    A 17-year-old girl was shot in the face and killed, and four more teenagers, with ages ranging from 11 to 17, were wounded, the Sun-Times reported.

    Four more people were shot in a separate shooting at a block party in the same neighborhood of Lawndale just a few hours earlier, the Sun-Times reported . Three of the victims were teenagers, with the youngest age 13.

    Dozens of people grieved on Sunday morning outside of Stroger Hospital, one of Chicago's busiest trauma centers, the Sun-Times later reported .

    "This is the worst I've ever seen it," one officer outside Stroger told the Sun-Times. "It's hot right now. There's a lot of tension ... And it might get worse because you can hear people talking about revenge, saying on their cellphones 'I know know who did it. You get him.'"

    So far in 2018 there have been 339 homicides in Chicago; 285 of those people were killed by gun violence.

    In 2016, 780 people were killed in Chicago, the highest number of homicides in the city in nearly 20 years. But the homicide rate has been on a steady downward trend since then, with 682 killed in 2017 and a pace of even fewer in 2018.
