Galveston Sheriff's Department
A Texas state trooper barricades an entrance at Santa Fe High School, where a gunman killed 10 people last week.
Relatives said they remained "mostly in the dark about the specifics" of the attack and shared "the public's hunger for answers". Far from it. As with other school massacres, the students had much more to learn and accomplish, the teachers more to impart to their young charges.
The teenager was surrounded by dozens of television cameras, photographers and reporters, as she shook her governor's hand and said she didn't believe guns were to blame for the shooting she survived.
The mother of Shana Fisher, one of the victims, believes her daughter was specifically targeted. Galveston County Judge Mark Henry, the county's top administrator, has said police exchanged rounds with Pagourtzis "for quite a while" before he surrendered a half-hour after the first reports of a shooter on campus. Her niece, Leia Olinde, said the family was notified of her death Friday night.
Shana had turned 16 days earlier.
The Islamic Society for Greater Houston says services for 17-year-old Pakistani exchange student Sabika Sheikh are scheduled for a mosque in suburban Houston.
Cynthia Tisdale, 63, was the second substitute teacher killed in the deadly attack.
The people hospitalized included retired Houston police Officer John Barnes, who served as a resource officer at the school and confronted the gunman.
Mr Abbott also said Pagourtzis wanted to commit suicide, citing the suspect's journals, but did not have the courage to do so.
Deedra Van Ness' daughter, Isabelle Laymance, survived the shooting by hiding in a classroom closet.

He told the outlet that his son was the "family's pillar". He has not entered a plea.
Pagourtzis has provided authorities with little information about the shootings, his attorney Nicholas Poehl said, adding: "Honestly because of his emotional state, I don't have a lot on that". Barfield said his client is "not doing well" and is "confused". In fact, the harshest punishment the suspect can receive is life with the possibility of parole.
Tuesday's roundtable will be the first and attendees include Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Speaker of the Texas House Joe Straus.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Sabika was "helping to build ties" between the United States and her native country and offered his condolences to her family and friends.
"Psychologists and psychiatrists will tell you that students are desensitized to violence, [and] may have lost empathy for their victims by watching hours and hours of video violent games".
Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt (who is also a contributing columnist at The Washington Post), pointed out that the killer did not use an assault rifle and argued that some of the gun-control methods in popular proposals wouldn't have had any impact. "No, but it obviously is part of the problem".
Chris played football and enjoyed video games.
McGinnis established a GoFundMe account on behalf of the family to help them pay for flights from their home in California for the funeral. Call your congressmen. We need GUN CONTROL. "And we stand here and we wonder why this happens to certain students".
"And we still have this gun debate, George, on whether or not teachers should be armed or not. But even better than that is four to five guns to one".
"Some people are saying you can't prevent guns with guns", Ybarra said.
