RED LAKE, Minn. - A gunman opened fire Monday at a high school on an Indian reservation, killing six people, with the suspect believed among those dead, authorities said. Before the school shootings, a man and a woman were shot in their home and died later.
Six people died in the mid-afternoon shooting at Red Lake High School in far northern Minnesota, including four students. Also killed were a teacher and a security guard, FBI (news - web sites) spokesman Paul McCabe said at a news conference in Minneapolis.
He declined to talk about a possible connection between the suspect and the couple killed at the home.
All of the dead students were in one room, McCabe said.
Tom Lyons, chief deputy for Beltrami County, said up to 14 other people were injured at the school.
One of the dead students was a boy believed to be the shooter, McCabe said. He would not comment on reports that the boy shot himself.
Red Lake High School, on the Red Lake Indian Reservation, has about 300 students, according to its Web site.
The reservation is about 240 miles north of the Twin Cities. It is home to the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians.
