WE'RE LEARNING MORE ABOUT HOW TUESDAY'S SCHOOL SHOOTING IN ROSWELL HAPPENED. STATE POLICE CHIEF PETE KASSETAS SAYS THE SUSPECT'S 20 GAUGE SHOTGUN HAD THREE ROUNDS IN IT. HE SAYS ONE ROUND HIT THE CEILING, ANOTHER HIT THE GYM FLOOR AND THE THIRD WAS DIRECTED AT THE STUDENTS.
THE STUDENTS WERE SHOT FROM A DISTANCE OF 12-TO 15 FEET. KASSETAS SAYS THE GUN HAD THE HANDLE SAWED-OFF, MAKING MORE OF A PISTOL TYPE WEAPON.
POLICE ALSO THINK THE SUSPECT WARNED SOME SELECT STUDENTS TO NOT GO INSIDE THE SCHOOL BEFORE HE ENTERED THE GYM. THE CHIEF SAYS THEY THINK THEY KNOW WHY THE SHOOTING TOOK PLACE BUT THEY'RE NOT REVEALING WHAT WAS FOUND IN THE THREE SEARCH WARRANTS THAT WERE EXECUTED. THE TWO SHOOTING VICTIMS CONTINUE TO RECOVER. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY IS WORKING WITH POLICE TO DEVELOP CHARGES IN THE CASE.
