Updated: 10:07 p.m. ET March 21, 2005RED LAKE, Minn. - A student went on a shooting spree Monday, killing seven people at his high school on an Indian reservation, authorities and witnesses said. The gunman himself was found shot to death at the school, and his grandparents were shot dead earlier at their home, the authorities said.
It was the nation’s worst school shooting since the Columbine massacre in 1999.
Before the shootings at Red Lake High School, the suspect’s grandparents were shot in their home and died later.
At least six students were killed, four initially and two who were critically injured then later died. Also slain were a teacher and a security guard, FBI spokesman Paul McCabe said at a news conference in Minneapolis.
