The teenager who allegedly used a shotgun and a revolver to kill 10 people and wound 10 others at a Texas high school Friday admitted he didn't shoot people he liked and meant to kill the ones he did target, a probable cause affidavit says.
Suspect Dimitrios Pagourtzis, 17, has cooperated with police, said Galveston County Magistrate Mark Henry said. Henry denied bail for the student, who is accused of capital murder of multiple people and aggravated assault on a public servant.
Students at Santa Fe High School, not far from Houston in southeastern Texas, scrambled for safety after they heard shots just after class began Friday morning. Nine students and one teacher were killed, a law enforcement official told CNN.
Pagourtzis said little during a video court appearance, answering "Yes, sir" when asked whether he wanted a court-appointed attorney. He was not asked to enter a plea.
The probable cause affidavit says he told an investigator he spared people he liked because he wanted his story told.
The alleged shooter used a shotgun and a .38 revolver that were legally owned by his father, Gov. Greg Abbott told reporters. Two school resource officers were on the campus and confronted the shooter "early on in the process," Abbott said.

A gun locked away in a gun safe is as useless as not having one at all. His blame is that he was not in touch with his son's mental disorder, whether it be conversion to Islam, liberalism, CNN/(P)MSBC watching, or whatever set him off.
No, I did.
I wasn’t referring to you but to the people you were referring to.
I meant no offense to you sir.
I don’t know what you are talking about. I did not suggest passing any laws. I said the parents cannot be held responsible for crimes committed by their 17 year old kid.
The stupid questions asked by reporters of students and their equally uneducated and their silly, tearful responses makes for a total waste of air time....click!
Fox News, you are a proving ground for would be shooters and other nuts with your 24/7 coverage. Politicians get on the air, give their same old rhetoric but political correctness prevents the disclosure of a possible shooter...
It certainly feels like the Internet encourages copycat massacres. It feels like school massacres were less frequent when the Internet waservice not available.
