The suspected gunman in a mass shooting at a Texas high school that left 10 people dead is under suicide watch at the Galveston County Jail, officials said Monday. Dimitrios Pagourtzis Jr., 17, is being held on capital murder charges after he allegedly opened fire at Santa Fe High School on Friday. Eight of the 10 people police say he fatally shot were students, and the other two were substitute teachers. WHY THE TEXAS SCHOOL SHOOTING SUSPECT CAN'T RECEIVE THE DEATH PENALTYGalveston County Sheriff Henry Trochesset at a news conference Monday revealed more information about Friday's timeline, telling reporters that it took four minutes for school resource officers to engage with the gunman. Extra security measures would be enacted once students return to campus, authorities said Monday, and noted that additional resources — such as a crisis hotline number — were available on the district's website.
