Wash. school shooting suspect had been suspended for threats

ROCKFORD, Wash. (AP) – A Washington state student accused of a deadly school shooting had been suspended for bringing threatening notes to school shortly before the attack.
 
Freeman School District Superintendent Randy Russell tells The Spokesman-Review (http://bit.ly/2w0GtnZ) that the district followed protocol by suspending the student and sending him for a mental evaluation.
 
The newspaper reported that the shooting occurred on the first day 15-year-old Caleb Sharpe returned from the suspension to Freeman High School in Rockford.
 
Court documents say he pulled an assault weapon from a bag, but it jammed.
 
Police say Sharpe pulled a pistol from his coat and shot and killed a 15-year-old boy, and wounded three female students.
 
Sharpe was arrested and has yet to make an appearance in juvenile court.
