St. Louis Police say that A 19-year-old former student that broke into a high school Monday morning, killed two people and inured several others was armed with an AR-15-style rifle and more than 600 rounds of ammunition.
St. Louis Police Commissioner Michael Sack said the gunman had seven magazines of ammunition on a chest rig and had eight magazines of ammunition in a bag.
“This doesn’t include the number of magazines that he left dumped on the stairway in the corridors along the way,” he added.
The suspect, who was killed when police opened fire at Central Visual and Performing Arts High School, was identified by police as Orlando Harris. Harris graduated from the high school last year.
Sack said at a news conference Tuesday that Harris, had no criminal history and left a handwritten note in his car detailing how he wanted to “conduct this school shooting,” detailing other portions of the note,
“I don’t have any friends, I don’t have any family, I’ve never had a girlfriend, I’ve never had a social life.” In the document, Harris said he was an “isolated loner.”
The two people who were killed have been identified by the school district as 15-year-old student Alexandria Bell and 61-year-old physical education teacher Jean Kuczka.
