Jeff Weiss Identified as Shooter at Minn School

His name was Jeff Weiss and he was 16 or 17. He killed himself after killing 9 other people, starting with his grandparents.

He dressed in black, wore a trench coat, (note the similarity between Columbine killers), wore eyeliner, wrote stories about zombies, created comic books with graphic pictures of death, and may have posted messages on a neo-Nazi Web site supporting Adolph Hitler using the name Todsengel or Angel of Death.

He had been placed on the schools Homebound program for violation of school policy. He was a loner who was often teased by others (Columbine similarities again). It has been reported that his father committed suicide 4 years ago and that his mother lives in a nursing home, disabled by brain injuries suffered in a car accident. He lived with his grandfather, Daryl Lussier and his grandfather's live in companion, Michelle Sigana.
