Damon Rabon, a Santa Fe student, said that he followed his teacher out of the classroom and saw the shooter firsthand. (RELATED: Shots Fired At Santa Fe High School, Suspect In Custody)

“We heard, like, five more bangs, and then the kid came out [with] a black, like, trench coat on, a sawed-off shotgun with a pistol grip, and I think something sharp on his chest,” Rabon described. “And then he turned, and instead of looking our way, he just grabbed his backpack and went right back into the art room, so, at that point, we knew it was an active shooter.”

Rabon said that after he saw the shooter, he and his teacher went back into the classroom and closed the door. His teacher reportedly pulled the fire alarm in order to alert authorities, as Rabon said people in the class did not have cell service in order to call 911.

Another student, Avery Garza, told HLN that he also saw the suspect in a black trench coat and with a sawed-off shotgun.

Garza said his friend witnessed the shooter pulling out a pistol and shooting a girl in the head.

“He was in that class, and the shooter came in and started shooting. And he had a sawed-off shotgun and a pistol. And he shot a girl, and then pulled his pistol out and shot her in the head,” Garza said.

“We know who it is, but unfortunately I cannot give the name out. He was wearing a trench coat, I think it said USSR on it,” he added.

According to a local sheriff, at least eight people have died in the shooting and the suspect is in custody.

They also said Texas couldn’t execute a Mexican citizen because the embassy wasn’t called. W even tried to intervene.

Texas did it.

Shotguns up close and personal are very deadly.

Cops got there only after the fact.

The Supreme Court did not grant a stay of execution for Edgar Tamayo, they in fact denied it.

Texas will not give a death sentence to a minor. No state can, st this time.

“Hmmm. I have the pistol grip that came with mine. But since I like my wrists, just left the shoulder stock in place. Wonder if I can make some money on the pistol grip.”

had occasion to shoot one in 20 gauge recently. VERY specialized shooter and not friendly. Two shells was enough to get the idea. Would have to be in very unfriendly conditions to actually lug one around.

Good luck!

I see kids wearing hoodies and it’s 90° outside.................

Yes......when I lived in Maryland, I would see teens wearing short pants in the snow. Some people have no sense when it comes to a fashion statement.

Wasn’t George W. Bush, it was John Kerry.

His execution was delayed for 3 hours while the Supreme Court considered it and denied the appeal then it was carried out.

I thought sawed off shotguns were illegal; perhaps not in Texas?

“I thought sawed off shotguns were illegal; perhaps not in Texas?”

You are correct. Was thinking maybe this was either a Mossberg Shockwave or Remington Stake-out. These are odd little ducks with atf signoff as not sawn off.
