St. Louis School Shooter Carried Hundreds Of Rounds

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports:

Police identified the suspect late Monday as Orlando Harris, 19, a graduate last year of the school, Central Visual and Performing Arts High School, at Arsenal Street and South Kings highway near Tower Grove Park.  One survivor heard the shooter say he was “tired of everybody” in the school. Police said the damage could have been far worse. The shooter’s gun jammed at one point, one student said, giving kids time to escape. And police found more than a dozen 30-round magazines on him.

CNN reports:



Adrianne Bolden, a freshman at Central VPA High School, told CNN affiliate KSDK that the children thought it was a drill until they heard the sirens and saw that their teachers were scared. “The teacher, she crawled over and she was asking for help to move the lockers to the door so they can’t get in,” Bolden said. “And we started hearing glass breaking from the outside and gunshots outside the door.” Math teacher David Williams told CNN in a call that everyone went into “drill mode.”
