three adults and three teen-agers
before he killed himself. Eight more

witness Christy Martin said, who said
the man had long hair and wore a
mustache.
Chris Applegate, a seventh grader,
said he was in choir practice when the
gunman burst into the room.
“We were singing a song and then
in the middle of the song this guy
opened the door and fired one shot,”
he said. “He just kept telling us to stay
