A seventeen year-old opened fire, ultimately killing ten people. Supposedly he was the victim of bullying from both students and coaches. Descriptions of him widely vary, some say he was a normal kid who seemed happy while others said he was a "weird loner".  The shooter's original plan involved committing suicide after, but that did not end up happening. He opened fire in the school's art department, reportedly singing the song "Another One Bites the Dust" and once yelling "Surprise!" before he shot a student. The students did an amazing job, giving medical attention to the wounded during those twenty-five minutes of the shooting.
