SANTA FE, Texas (KTRK) -- Authorities tell Eyewitness News that 17-year-old Dimitrios Pagourtzis was the gunman in the deadly shooting that unfolded Friday morning inside Santa Fe High School, killing 10 people and injuring 10 more.
Pagourtzis was arrested, and authorities say he is a student at the high school.
SOCIAL MEDIA His Facebook page also listed a possible interest in the United States Marines Corps, "starting in 2019." ABC News reached out to the Pentagon, and they said they do not have record of anyone with the last name Pagourtzis in Marine Corps.
Pagourtzis describes himself as an atheist for religious views, and "I hate politics" for political views. He also posted photos of himself, his gaming station setup, and t-shirts. He posted a photo on April 30, 2018 of a t-shirt that says "Born to Kill."
On the same day, he also posted a photo of a jacket with pins of various symbols (Communist party, Iron Cross, Rising Sun, baphomet, and Cthulhu).
FOOTBALL The Santa Fe Indians Freshman Football website lists a "Dimitrios Pagourtzis" with jersey #73, position DL with graduation year of 2019.
CHURCH The Assumption of the Virgin Mary Greek Orthodox Church in Galveston has posted photos of their "Galveston Nisiotes" - a Greek Dance Troupe performing at the Galveston Heritage Festival on its website. In one of the photos, a "Dimitri Pagourtzis" is listed in the photo caption. The suspect's mother's Facebook page also includes a similar photo of the same Greek dance troup.
WEAPONS USED Authorities say Pagourtzis was armed with a shotgun and a .38 revolver that belonged to his father. They believe those weapons were legally owned by his father.
Journals, a computer and cell phone recovered during the investigation suggested that not only did Pagourtzis intend to carry out the shooting, but he planned to commit suicide afterward, authorities say. He did not attempt to kill himself, but instead, surrendered to police.
CHARGES Pagourtzis has been booked into the Galveston County Jail on a charge of capital murder. He is being held without bond.
Due to his age, if convicted, Pagourtzis would not be eligible for the death penalty. During their investigation, authorities obtained warrants to search two homes. They found various explosive devices in a home and vehicle, as well as on the school's campus.
They are urging the community to be on the lookout for suspicious items and to report anything unusual to 911.
Divorced parents (drugs/alcohol, adultery), kid spoilage for custody, and in essence, fatherlessness.
Me too, Kangaroo. Medicated? ADHD? Depressed?
Well said.
Why can we secure the airports and not the schools? Don’t give me the BS that they are just children. 5 pounds of trigger pull gets the job done most times.
It’s not sawed off and has a barrel at least 18.5 inches long.
A Godless antifa left winger... woulda thunk it
Well I for one decided the commandments of the true God trumped the fictional writings of a famous horror author. In fact I never knew there was a contest at all.

I’d bet good money that psych drugs are involved.
Just because the shooter's weapon was described as "sawed off" doesn't mean it is. The mainstream media is notorious for getting weapon descriptions wrong.
I repeat my question: How exactly are the 99.999% of those who enjoy Lovecrsft’s fiction without shooting someone giving the middle finger to religious belief and moral absolutes?
This is a little off topic but something I’ve noticed recently is the newest generation are often angry spoiled brats. I’m a friendly guy and saw a very young (heavy set) woman with a baby in a carrier. The carrier was on the floor and I was sitting next to her in the DMV (MVD in AZ). I noticed the baby was staring at me so I asked her if her baby is exposed to beards much since I have one. She was really snotty like it was a major imposition for her to look up from her cell phone to answer me. I smiled. The baby smiled back and my number was called. I was glad to be away from that nasty woman but felt sad for the kid.
I think this generation, whatever it’s called, is going to be a major problem in the future. This wasn’t the only similar situation with this gen I’ve had. It seems to be prevalent.
So, what MEDICATION was he taking, and WHAT was the relationship with his FATHER..... THIS is important to some of us... It is the common factor.

Generally speaking idiots that saw off barrels rarely move the front sight to the sawed off piece of crap they just butchered. The picture shows what looks like a factory barrel. The MSM don’t know crap so I’ll go with that point. Either his dad is an idiot or don’t care what the kids did to his stuff. I would still walk funny if I had done that to my dad shotgun.
I want to know if he was born here or how long his family has been in the USA.
They have achieved the age of reason with no moral compass. They are very numerous. Once they cross the line and attempt an atrocity, the only real defense is to be armed and fire back with serious intent. It will continue to happen.
“Dimitrios Pagourtzis” with jersey #73
he may be #73 in the yearbook, but he’s #1 in our hearts. /puke
As would I.
I guarantee he’s on at least 2. Leaving out the mind of a developing kid, antipsychotic/antidepressant drugs do have quite the opposite effect on a small number of patients.
And I’m waiting to hear if his parents had any control over him. Or were there parents? Or was it a one parent household? I’m waiting for a lot of things. We still haven’t heard much about either the Las Vegas shooter or the Parkland shooter! It all goes down a memory hole.
