The Santa Fe High School shooter who killed between eight and ten people has been named as student Dimitrios ‘Dimitri’ Pagourtzis. Pagourtzis, 17, shared chilling photos on his – now removed – Facebook of a ‘Born to Kill’ t-shirt shortly before Friday morning’s massacre.

Plane 'containing 107 passengers' crashes in Havana, Cuba An Instagram account that appears to belong the 11th-grader shows him following multiple gun-related accounts, including ‘sickguns,’ ‘gunspictures’, as well as others called Guns Fanatics, Guns Lovers and Guns Glory. Only three photos were uploaded to it – a toy rifle attached to an arcade video game, a photo of a frog, and a picture of a gun, knife as well as torch lying on a bed. His Facebook bio declared: ‘YouTube is a Comma Kazi. It’s the one with the kamikaze pilot.

Pagourtzis’ Faceook page blasts YouTube – and reveals his plans to join the Marines. They have no record of him on their system A chilling photo of a ‘Born to Kill’ t-shirt uploaded to Pagourtzis’s Facebook feed, which has since been taken down A photo of the long military jacket Pagourtzis is said to have worn to the massacre.

He explained each of the badges in a caption underneath the photo ‘I’ve got a few playlists there.’ It also instructed people on how to pronounce his name – di-MI-tree-oas pag-OR-cheez – and directed people to watch videos there.

The page also appeared to display a photo of the black trench coat work by Pagourtzis during the massacre. It was adorned with various trinkets, which he explained below. He wrote: ‘Duster Hammer and Sickle = Rebellion Rising Sun = Kamikaze Tactics Iron Cross = Bravery Baphomet = Evil Cthulhu = Power.’ Pagourtzis was hailed as a talented football player on the Santa Fe Indians team – but some students said he was bullied A picture from an Instagram account apparently belonging to Pagourtzis, showing a toy rifle at being pointed at a video arcade game Another photo from the Instagram account showing a pistol, knife and torch on a bed The black and white Iron Cross is the highest German military decoration for bravery. It was introduced in 1813, but was redesigned in 1957 after the German government banned the production of Nazi-associated emblems. Some students claimed that Pagourtzis was bullied by students and another teacher.

A note on the Santa Fe Indians football team’s website hailed his ‘huge role’ in a game last October. Pargourtiz also said on the Facebook page that he was planning on joining the military in 2019, but a spokesman said there was no record of him on their files.

After the massacre, police rushed to the trailer park were Pagourtzis lived amid reports it had been booby-trapped with explosives. He is said to have used improvised explosive devices and pipe bombs during the slaughter.

Pagourtzis plays on the Santa Fe High School junior varsity football team, and is a member of a dance squad with a local Greek Orthodox church.

He was just described by a fellow student on ABC radio as a “sweet kid”.

It’s always the sweet kids...

“We heard, like, five more bangs, and then the kid came out [with] a black, like, trench coat on, a sawed-off shotgun with a pistol grip, and I think something sharp on his chest,” Rabon described. “And then he turned, and instead of looking our way, he just grabbed his backpack and went right back into the art room, so, at that point, we knew it was an active shooter.”

Rabon said that after he saw the shooter, he and his teacher went back into the classroom and closed the door. His teacher reportedly pulled the fire alarm in order to alert authorities, as Rabon said people in the class did not have cell service in order to call 911.

Another student, Avery Garza, told HLN that he also saw the suspect in a black trench coat and with a sawed-off shotgun.

Garza said his friend witnessed the shooter pulling out a pistol and shooting a girl in the head.

“He was in that class, and the shooter came in and started shooting. And he had a sawed-off shotgun and a pistol. And he shot a girl, and then pulled his pistol out and shot her in the head,” Garza said.

“We know who it is, but unfortunately I cannot give the name out. He was wearing a trench coat, I think it said USSR on it,” he added.

Is anyone in the media going to dare point out that Santa Fe shooter Dimitrios Pagourtzis is a Satanist? Notice the Baphomet pin on his jacket, and satanic pentagram pics on his Facebook header? Those who hate God love death. What an evil piece of filth.

Heard that he planned on killing himself and then chickened out.

At some point the Democrats will gain both Congress and the WH. An AWB is inevitable once that occurs.

Q: If I own 5 ARs and the government makes them illegal, how many ARs will I own?

A: 5

Sorry to say, it’s Greek. My guess, he was not born here as the name is very ethnic. Very very rare to have Greek Americans born here who go off the deep end. More likely he was born in Cypress, etc. Or he was adopted.

There are plenty of others in the US with that name, so he certainly could have been born and raised here. http://forebears.io/surnames/pagourtzis

Is this true? My grandfather was a 32nd degree Mason, and I can’t imagine him being involved in anything diabolical.

Are there different categories of Masons? Like what is Scottish rite? My grandfather might have been in that group, would have to look it up.

I am thinking that the peace sign on his hat doesn’t mean the same thing to him as it does to me.

I find more liberals wear peace signs and they tend to be more violent when supporting their leftist religion, go figure.
