Students, police discuss shooting at Washington high school

A sophomore at Freeman High School in Rockford, Wash., is in police custody after a school shooting that killed one student and injured three others Wednesday. Authorities said the carnage could have been much worse, but one of the suspect’s guns jammed and a school custodian tackled and subdued him soon after the shooting began. Students said the suspect, whom local news reports identified as Caleb Sharpe, brought notes to school earlier in the year warning that he planned to do “something stupid.” The Spokesman-Review reported Sharpe and the student who died, Sam Strahan, were friends but might have had a falling-out recently. “It sounds like a case of a bullying type of situation,” Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich said.
