ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A note found in a 16-year-old boy’s pocket indicated that he had planned to kill his ex-girlfriend and others on Valentine’s Day, when he fired a gunshot inside his high school, according to documents filed by authorities in court. No one was injured in the shooting that happened Thursday morning before classes started at V. Sue Cleveland High School in Rio Rancho, a suburb of Albuquerque. He is facing charges of attempting to commit murder and unlawfully carrying a deadly weapon onto school grounds. Police have not said where the suspect got the gun he carried onto school grounds on the anniversary of the Parkland, Florida, high school massacre that killed 14 students and three staff members at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — the deadliest high school shooting in the nation’s history. A shot then went off after the suspect manipulated the weapon and pulled the trigger, the witness told officers.
