A 15-year-old gunman unleashed a blizzard of bullets inside a rural Kentucky high school Tuesday — killing two of his classmates and wounding 12 others, police said.
The teen shooter methodically squeezed off round after round in a crowded common area of Marshall County High School in Benton, sending students scrambling for their lives just before 8 a.m.
“He was determined. He knew what he was doing,” said student Alexandria Caporali, 16, who raced into a classroom when the gunfire rang out.
“It was one right after another — bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,” she added. “You could see his arm jerking as he was pulling the trigger.”

The two fatalities were both 15 years old — Bailey Holt who died at the scene and Preston Cope who was rushed to a hospital but could not be saved, officials said.
Fellow student Gabbi Bayers described the pair as “two of the greatest people I have ever met.”
“I have never heard one negative thing come from their mouths,” Bayers added in a Facebook post. “I’m glad we made the memories we did with each other. It hurts knowing we won't be able to share the laughs anymore.”

Of the 12 other students struck by bullets, five were in critical condition, authorities said.

Five other students suffered minor injuries in the mad dash for safety.
The unidentified shooter was taken into custody at the school without incident, officials said.
Caporali said she spotted him trying to escape after he ran out of bullets.
He “couldn’t do anything else,” Caporali said. “He took off running and tried to get away from the officers.”

The spasm of violence spread panic through Benton, a town of some 4,300 people located about 250 miles southwest of Lexington.
“In a small town like this, you don’t think anything like this would ever happen here,” Marshall County School Board Chairman Randy Travis told the Louisville Courier-Journal.
“But it did. Everybody here is in shock.”

Officials said sheriff deputies arrested the gunman nine minutes after he opened fire, thanks to a series of early 911 calls.
“This situation was disrupted,” Lt. Michael Webb of the Kentucky State Police said. “There’s no way to know at this point how far this would have went.”
Authorities said the teen will be charged with two counts of murder and several counts of attempted murder. They declined to provide possible motives.
Authorities said a shooting suspect was in custody.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and families there and we offer our sincerest appreciation to the heroic Marshall County deputy who apprehended the shooter,” press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters.
Student Baleigh Culp said she was joking around with friends when they heard a loud bang that sounded like books hitting the floor.
“That's what I expected it to be, until I saw a body drop on the ground,” Culp said. “There was bullets flying everywhere. I ran straight out the door and headed to the highway as fast as I could.”
It was the second school shooting in two days.
