Greg Abbott (R). Law enforcement officials told several news outlets that the one male suspect taken into custody was 17-year old Dimitrios Pagourtzis. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez confirmed at a Friday morning news conference that another “person of interest” was detained, and one police officer was injured. Santa Fe High School is still “an active crime scene.” An official confirmed explosive devices were found in the school and the “surrounding areas adjacent to the high school,” urging nearby residents to keep an eye out for suspicious items. Abbott said Friday afternoon that police were investigating explosive devices, including a Molotov cocktail, at a home and in a vehicle. The shooter had two weapons, a shotgun and revolver, obtained from his father, who likely had them legally, according to Abbott. He had information on his computer and in journals saying that he wanted to commit the shooting and commit suicide, but “didn’t have the courage” to kill himself, Abbott said.
