El Cajon, Calif. — The high school freshman accused of killing two classmates and wounding 13 other people in a campus shooting spree told investigators he planned to use his last bullet on himself, according to court records.
Charles Andrew "Andy" Williams, 15, said he counted out 40 bullets before class, stowed his father's gun in his backpack and hid in a bathroom stall to load the revolver, investigators said in an affidavit for a search warrant. It was unsealed late Monday afternoon.
"He understood that his behavior was wrong and that it would result in injuring or killing people," Sharon Lunsford, a San Diego County Sheriff's Department investigator, wrote in the affidavit.
The search warrant was for the apartment where Williams lived with his father in suburban Santee, near San Diego. In the search they seized seven rifles, a computer and several computer disks.
Williams was charged with 28 felonies, including two counts of murder, for the March 5 shooting at Santana High School.
Investigators suggest in the court records that Williams carefully planned the shooting but had no specific target. He told authorities he planned to run away and kill himself after the shooting but that police thwarted his plan by arriving sooner than he expected, Lunsford wrote.
"He said that, while he did not intend to kill any particular person, if someone died, they died," Lunsford wrote.
