Police say the shooter asked to be excused from the classroom, then returned with two handguns before opening fire.
A student who was in the classroom at the time of the incident said the shooter fired 4-6 shots, not at anybody in particular.
"When he walked in, he had this weird look on his face," the student said. "He reached into his right pocket and pulled out a handheld gun. He took about 4-5 shots, not aimed at anyone specifically like he was waving his hand around."
