"I know he's often bullied by coaches and other students. He basically doesn't talk to anyone. Dustin said, "Friends on the football team told me that sometimes coaches would smell directly in front of his face. And the other students would look at him and laugh at him. Although they didn't fight, they still bullied him emotionally. I never expected that he would suddenly shoot at the school, and he didn't look like a hateful person. ”
According to media reports, an account on Facebook belonging to gunman Demetrios contained a series of disturbing posts, including a photo of a black T-shirt posted on April 30 with the words "Born to kill." Another message was a military trench coat with the Iron Cross, one of Hitler's favorite ornaments. But after the shooting, Dmitryos' Facebook account has now been deleted.
According to local media outlet CW39 Houston, some students said that before the shooting, they saw a student wearing a trench coat, military boots and a T-shirt printed with "Born to kill" appear on campus. Shortly after seeing the student, fire alarms and a series of gunfire shots were heard.
