Minnesota School Shooting

I can't find many details, but it sounds bad:
RED LAKE, Minn. (AP) -- Gunfire broke out at a Minnesota high school Monday, killing an undetermined number of people and injuring as many as 14 others, authorities said.

Tom Lyons, chief deputy for Beltrami County, said up to 14 people were injured in the mid-afternoon shooting at Red Lake High School in far northern Minnesota. Lyons said a suspect was in custody, but he had no other details.

The FBI did not say how many people had been killed and also declined to release details.

Students and a teacher at the scene, Diane Schwanz, identified a male student as the gunman. Schwanz said the shooter tried to break down a door to get into a room where some students were. [. . .]

Red Lake High School, on the Red Lake Indian Reservation, has about 300 students, according to its Web site.
Thoughts, vibes, etc.

[UPDATE: According to CNN, there are five dead at school plus the shooter, on top of the shooter's grandparents, whom he killed at home before going to school. There are at least 15 injured.
