A student authorities say killed seven people at his Minnesota high school first shot his grandfather and the man's girlfriend before taking his police-issued weapon, bulletproof vest and squad car to Red Lake Senior High School.
FBI Special Agent in Charge Michael Tabman said Tuesday that 16-year-old Jeff Weise killed his grandfather, 58-year-old Daryl Lussier, and his grandfather's 32-year-old girlfriend, Michelle Sigana, with a .22-caliber gun before driving to the school Monday.
FBI agents would not confirm reports that Weise had posted comments on a neo-Nazi Web site.
But a person who posted on the site of the Libertarian National Socialist Green Party identified himself as "Jeff Weise, from the Red Lake 'Indian' Reservation." The writer said he disliked interracial mixing among the American Indians on the reservation where he lived.
Federal investigators, however, said that while the postings may provide clues to the rampage, it was premature Tuesday to speculate on a motive. The shootings at the school appeared to be random, Tabman said.
He said authorities believe Weise stole his grandfather's police-issued pistol and a shotgun, as well as a gunbelt and vest. Authorities said he had three guns in all.

Which is why his name is Jeff Weise instead of Running Bear.
How many of those repressive laws that the grabbers want to pass will actually apply to LE officers? Every single gun control law in recent memory has exempted LE and military/govt.
Trying to argue with the grabbers with logic and facts is tiring and ultimately futile. Can we just round them up and shoot them for being enemies of the Constitution? Or set up a trade program where we send America-hating leftists to Cuba and we take some of their people that risk life and limb to get to US soil.
Oh, but 100% effective gun control laws would protect us from all such evil weapons. All the time.
Didn't you know?
the problem is that there are not ENOUGH really tough gun control laws to prevent them from getting in the hands of ignorant (er, innocent) people. (Er, victims.)
The first one will be titled: ".22 caliber assault weapons ban."
"first shot his grandfather and the man's girlfriend before taking his police-issued weapon, bulletproof vest and squad car to Red Lake Senior High School."
Notwithstanding, the Left continues to point to this tragedy as proving the need for more gun control laws.
Advocates of these laws will not expect to be called to task for the illogic of their argument. They will rely on the ignorance of the American public, including the ignorance of MSM reporters - who took English Lit and Sociology courses in college rather than courses in logic or any kind of rigorous scientific study. And so you will see little challenge to such absurdity.
I doubt that few if any here will think that. However there will be plenty of the usual suspects who will. With all the recent "gun violence" incidents, you can bet they'll all be bleating out their calls for more gun control, regardless of whether it would have made any difference in the recent incidents or not.
Well, all but one anyway. The Lautenberg domestic violence gun ban applies to police and even military. They, especially the police, screamed long and loud about it, but AFAIK, it hasn't been changed.
So a federal cop (Indian Reservation) failed to secure his duty weapon..and it was used in a mass murder?
The kid telegraphed his moves at school and on the net and even his own police officer grandpa had NO idea what he was capable of?
And failed to secure his weapons...
A terrible tragedy...but has nothing at all to do with the second amendment
But has everything to do with what is not being taught to our nations kids
imo
EXACTLY!! People keep forgetting that before guns were invented there was no violence and everybody just walked around in white robes handing flowers to passersby.
Seems to me that all of the articles on this little micreant's murder spree ought to be: "Youth Kills Unwanted Classmates Only Hours After Fed Court Okays Murder of Helpless Invalid."
What we need to use is Rosie O'Donnell's GIANT MAGNET, that would go over the country and suck up all the guns...
Have you noticed that you don't hear much about Rosie anymore?
She is a Never-Was Nazzz Been.
al l we have to do is pass agun control law making it illegal for a 16 year old to possess a firearm and make it illegal to carry aloaded gun on school property then this thing wouild have never happened /sarcasm
