Investigators have said the Heritage High sophomore concealed the rifle in a pant leg of the baggy blue jeans he was wearing and carried the handgun in a book bag while riding the bus to school.
The suspect allegedly fired 14 shots, 11 from the rifle and three from the handgun.
Principal Cecil Brinkley approached the youth immediately after the shooting when the teen stuck a gun in his own mouth.
"Give me the gun," Brinkley demanded repeatedly, as the boy took the weapon out of his mouth and pointed it at the educator.
Solomon then surrendered the .357 revolver, threw his arms around the assistant principal and sobbed, "I'm so scared." |
