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.

Drugs open the soul to influence of evil. Thus you will continue to see an increase in such activities until society turns back toward God.

Not saying this young man was on drugs, but something external influenced him to do this tragedy.

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.

Good start. And ban violent movies too.

I think it’s amazing we don’t have school shootings like this 2-3 times a month.

Our children are numbed and dumbed down to killing and shootings based on violent video games and movies.

Regular daily murders occur in our black communities, and no one even flinches anymore. America is used to black on black violence and murders.

Will we soon just read of a mass murder on a high school campus and think “What a shame. Well lets see whats on TV tonight?”

“schools give to boys to keep them from acting like boys”

You mean acting like BRATS, which a) the hippie/Spock gen has enabled with their “do what you want” and “your view is valid” crap with no physical punishment; no self-control; and b) teachers became hamstrung also as to handling little brats; everyone started calling this bad behavior “a disease” and THEN use drugs to deal with what only needed a good swat.

I say ban violent video games. Hollyweird’s crap spewing violence is also not a help to these unstable kids of leftisms rotten fruits.

The Supreme Court already shut that idea down in their 2011 "Brown v. Entertainment Merchant Association" where they struck down a California law that banned the sale of violent video games without parent permission in a 7-2 decision, ruling that violent video games were "free speech" and constitutionally protected.

Any chance he could be a Bosnian Muslim. I know Clinton and the democrats imported thousands of them to the U.S. during the 1990's.

The more the media sensationalizes these incidents, doing breathless 24-7 coverage for weeks on end, delving into the shooter’s possible motives, family life, what might have led him to this; the more you will see copycats.

Reporting events and reporting valid updates is one thing but making what amounts to a cult hero out of these turds just encourages the other turds to make their own moment in history.

The endless reporting goes along with the endless political bloviation that goes on about these events also plays a big part in the copycat aspect of these shootings.

These shooters invariably are looking for attention and because of the volume of publicity and attention these shootings garner, the negative publicity is better for them than any positives.

How many people will know or remember the name of the armed individuals in the incident the other day and this one who stopped the shooter? By tomorrow, nobody because their part in the play are not as report worthy as the killer’s.

The press still adheres to the old saw of “if it bleeds, it leads” and nowdays the press and politicians will bleed all of the corpses dry and then parade the corpses for personal and political gain.

That’s why he felt like an outcast? He was an immigrant. Trump hated him.

I would really like to know.
