shooters to lure students outside to make them easy targets.

Two young boys are in jail...charged with killing four of their
classmates, one of their teachers and wounding ten others.
Classmates say they saw 11 year old Andrew Golden trip the fire
alarm.
Police believe he then ran to a wooded area to join his cousin 13
year old Mitchell Johnson in what became a bloody ambush.
BRANDY GEORGE, STUDENT:
MITCHELL WAS A BULLY AND ANDREW TRIED TO FOLLOW IN HIS STEPS.
Students say johnson had vowed revenge after a girlfriend dumped
him. A friend says Johnson once threatened suicide over a similar
incident when he lived in Minnesota.
Andrew Golden is described as a sometimes hyperactive but typical
kid who often wore camouflage clothing and loved guns. His grandfather says he
was taught to respect firearms.
