Similar middle school shooting case with more firepower and 2 shooters:
Mitchell Scott Johnson (born August 11, 1984) and Andrew Douglas Golden (born May 25, 1986) are former middle school students who on March 24, 1998 committed a massacre at Westside Middle School in Arkansas, United States, near Jonesboro.[1] A total of five people, four female students and a teacher, were killed. Ten people, nine students and one teacher, were injured. Golden was a sixth grader at the school A classmate accused him of killing her cat with a BB gun. After the shooting, Johnson claimed that Golden approached him wanting to start a shooting spree at their school. Golden assisted Johnson in loading his mother's Dodge Caravan with seven weapons (two semi-automatic rifles, one bolt-action rifle and four handguns), which had been stolen from Golden's grandfather's house, and 3,500 rounds of ammunition. The following morning, the boys drove in the van to Westside Middle School. As they arrived, Golden pulled the fire alarm while Johnson took the weapons to the woods outside of the school. Golden then ran back to the woods where Johnson had taken the weapons. When children and teachers filed out of the school, the two boys opened fire. The boys killed four female students and one teacher and wounded ten others. Golden and Johnson attempted to run back to the van and escape, but police captured them. The two youths were among the youngest people ever charged with murder in American history. The Jonesboro prosecutor later stated that were it not for their ages, he would have sought a death sentence for the pair. In August 1998, both boys were sentenced to confinement until they reached the age of 21, which is the maximum sentence available under Arkansas law. Johnson was released on his 21st birthday, August 11, 2005, having spent only 7 years in prison.[5] Golden was released on May 25, 2007, also his 21st birthday.[6]

The 12-year-old Reyes also wrote two notes that police found in a spiral notebook inside the orange backpack he took to school that morning.
In the notebook with the Angry Birds video game characters on the cover, Reyes tells his parents he is sorry.
"Dear mom and dad I'm sorry about all this is because some of my family and friends hate me but I understand. What I did this shooting is not because of the shooting games, bullying or other stuff is because of the past causes there some bad things in the past cause of me. And now I'm just a monster..." the handwritten letter begins.
He ends the letter to his parents, "But I love you and I wish the past would be good and better someday."
Allen said the notes give conflicting motivation for the shooting but both suggest that his life would end in the process.
The report outlined cases of bullying.
Although police had multiple reports that Reyes had been teased and bullied, they had a difficult time pinning any students down on the details of those incidents, including the names of the offenders and the specific bullying actions.
