“He was weird,” Harper said. “And he loved the show Breaking Bad. He never really seemed like that person who had issues. He was always nice and funny and weird.”
Harper said the shooter had written his friends notes indicating he planned to do “something stupid.”
“He made a note,” Harper said. “I didn’t get mine, but my friends got theirs. I read one of my friends’ and it said he was going to do something stupid. He took it to a counselor.”
The carnage was only brought to an end when a brave member of staff wrestled the gunman who has been named locally as Caleb Sharpe.
The suspect, who a classmate described as being obsessed with previous school shootings and the television programme Breaking Bad, was later arrested and taken into custody.
