TEEN KILLS 2 STUDENTS IN SCHOOL

A 15-year-old student shot and killed two schoolmates Wednesday in a high school swarming with security guards preparing for a visit from the mayor, police said.

Later in the day, a 16-year-old classmate distraught over the killings attempted suicide and was not expected to survive.

Ian Moore, 17, and Tyrone Sinkler, 16, were shot point-blank in a second-floor hallway at violence-plagued Thomas Jefferson High School in Brooklyn.

The suspect went to school looking for them, then "walked right up to them without saying a word and shot them," said Deputy Inspector Patrick Carroll.

Moore was hit in the head and Sinkler in the chest; they died soon after at a hospital.
