One of the students killed in the Santa Fe school shooting reportedly turned down romantic advances from Dimitrios Pagourtzis, the suspect in the deaths of 10 people and wounding of at least another 10.

Shana Fisher’s mother, Sadie Rodriguez, told the Associated Press that as Pagourtzis became more aggressive, Shana “finally stood up to him and embarrassed him”. Speaking to the Los Angeles Times, Rodriguez said: “A week later he opens fire on everyone he didn’t like.” Authorities named the victims of the shooting on Saturday. The Pagourtzis family issued a statement in which they said they “shared the public’s hunger for answers as to why this happened”. The lawyer who issued the statement told the AP he had not heard about any interaction of the sort described by Rodriguez. Nicholas Poehl also said he had spent considerable time disputing false rumours about Pagourtzis’s personal life.(theguardian)…[+]
