I spend the majority of my recreational time in south Beltrami Co. For the last 25 years. The best.

UPDATE:

RED LAKE, Minn. (AP) - One student described the gunman grinning and waving at a student his gun was pointed at, then swiveling to shoot someone else.

"I looked him in the eye and ran in the room, and that's when I hid," Sondra Hegstrom told The Pioneer of Bemidji.

Students and a teacher at the scene, Diane Schwanz, said the shooter tried to break down a door to get into a room where some students were.

"I just got on the floor and called the cops," Schwanz told the Pioneer. "I was still just half-believing it."

Hegstrom said students pleaded with the gunman to stop shooting.

"You could hear a girl saying, 'No, Jeff, quit, quit. Leave me alone. What are you doing?" Hegstrom said, using the name of the suspected shooter.

Ashley Morrison, another student, took refuge in a classroom. With the shooter banging on the door, she dialed her mother on her cell phone. Her mother, Wendy Morrison, said she could hear gunshots on the line.

"'Mom, he's trying to get in here and I'm scared,"' Ashley Morrison told her mother.

Schwanz was the teacher in that room. She said, "I just got down on the floor and (said), 'Kids, down on the ground, under the benches!"' She said she called police on her cell phone.
