(16 Nov 2019) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: apus126836 A 16-year-old boy who shot five fellow students - killing two - before turning the gun on himself at a Southern California high school has died.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department says Nathaniel Tennosuke Berhow died at about 3:30 p.m. Friday at a hospital with his mother present.
Students and others gathered at a makeshift memorial in Santa Clarita, California, Friday where people left items - balloons, cards and stuffed animals - a day after the teenager opened fire after being dropped off by his mother at Saugus High School in the Los Angeles suburb.
The attack killed 15-year-old Gracie Muehlberger and 14-year-old Dominic Blackwell. Two girls remain hospitalized but are expected to be released this weekend.
"I was in my first period class, and I hear just these loud bangs. But I, my first instinct is, that's gunshots?" said Saugus High School student Isabella Esser. Esser is a Junior at Saugus.
Authorities say Berhow pulled a gun from his backpack Thursday, shot five students at random and then shot himself in the head. It was his 16th birthday.
The shooting, captured on security video, took 16 seconds and investigators say they still don’t have a motive.
