Several people took screenshots from Pagourtzis' social media pages before they were taken down, showing disturbing posts.

He also posted photos of a trench coat and a shirt that reads "Born To Kill," which witnesses say he was wearing at the time of the shooting.

Dustin Severin, a junior at Santa Fe High School said Pagourtzis is "really quiet. He mostly kept to himself ... He didn’t really talk to anyone." Severin claims he passed Pagourtzis in the hallway before the shooting happened and didn't think he had that "hatred in him."

A person of interest in the school shooting has been detained and is being questioned by authorities.
