Red Lake, Minn.
As many as 20 teenagers may have known that a classmate intended to go on the shooting spree that left 10 dead on the Red Lake Indian Reservation in Minnesota, police said this week. Investigators arrested one boy, Louis Jourdain, and charged him with helping the gunman, 16-year-old Jeff Weise. But investigators believe as many as four students may have helped Weise plan the attack, and others may have known it was coming. FBI agents are sifting through data on more than 30 computers at Red Lake High School, where Weise shot most of the victims during the March 21 rampage before killing himself. “It feels like it’s a bad dream,” said Donald May, a member of the tribal council. “We’re in shock.”
