Student Accused of Killing Two in School Shooting
A high school senior took his rifle to school Wednesday to shoot teachers, an investigator said. He killed one, injured another and also killed a student who got in the way.
As screaming students fled in terror, 17-year-old Jamie Rouse was wrestled to the ground by another student and a teacher and held until police arrived at Richland High School in this rural community of about 400 people.
Michael Chapman, chief investigator for the Giles County sheriff’s department, refused to say why Rouse was angry at teachers, but noted that his grades began deteriorating about two years ago.
