RED LAKE, Minn. - A juvenile has been arrested in last week's shooting rampage on the Red Lake Indian Reservation, federal authorities said Monday. They would not say how the juvenile was believed to be connected to the attack, which left 10 people dead, including the 16-year-old gunman.
U.S. Attorney Tom Heffelfinger said the juvenile was arrested Sunday, but declined to give any details, including the age and gender of the juvenile. Heffelfinger said federal law required him to withhold the details.
The gunman, Jeff Weise, a student with a history of depression, shot to death his grandfather and the man's girlfriend last week, then went to school and killed seven others and himself.
Investigators had said last week that Weise acted alone in the rampage.
The caskets of Indian police officer Daryl Lussier and his companion Michelle Sigana are carried by a horse drawn carriage through main street in Red Lake, Minn., Saturday, March 26, 2005. Jeff Weise, a 16-year-old student at Red Lake High School shot his grand-father Lussier and his grand-father's companion Sigana along with seven others and himself on Monday. Funeral services were held for Lussier and Sigana today. Lussier's patrol vehicle was to be retired after his burial. (AP Photo/Anne Heisenfelt)
Thank you.
More than welcome.
I've been on this since the 5:00 hour and in contact with my Bemidji pals (some in the local school systems) since this one went down.
