Teen Murdered In Santa Fe Shooting Predicted The Gunman Would Target Her

While we don’t have an official motive for the horrific Santa Fe High School shooting, we have an idea. Sadie Rodriguez, the mother of one of the victims, Shana Fisher, 16, said her daughter “had 4 months of problems from this boy.”

“He kept making advances on her and she repeatedly told him no,” Rodriguez told the Los Angeles Times.

Pagourtzis continued to get more aggressive, and she finally stood up to him and embarrassed him in class, Rodriguez said. “A week later he opens fire on everyone he didn’t like,” she wrote. “Shana being the first one.” Rodriguez didn’t say how she knew her daughter was the first victim.

It’s appalling and absolutely no excuse, but that might’ve been the motive, and it begs the question. Did anyone think– even for a minute– that he would lash out in a violent manner?

Shana did. Two weeks ago, she told her family, “If he kills me I’ll haunt him forever.”

Her family have revealed how 17-year-old Pagourtzis pestered Shana for dates for four months before she finally stood up to him a week before Friday’s murderous rampage and said: ‘cut it out.’

It’s believed he responded to the snub by making her his primary target, shooting Shana from ‘point blank’ range in the face and leaving her body so damaged she was virtually unrecognizable, before opening fire on her classmates.

Horrific. I have no words. The gunman is pure EVIL.

Shana’s grief-stricken dad Timothy Thomas, 41, told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview that his daughter actually predicted that the trench coat-wearing loner was going to harm her.

‘Shana told her mother two weeks ago he was going to come and kill her,’ Thomas, a dad of five, said.

Apparently, this is something he was saying out loud. According to Shana’s father, the shooter told her he was going to kill her.

‘He had told her himself he was going to kill her. He was walking around planning this in his head for two weeks.

‘Shana said that if he came into the school with a gun and killed her she would haunt him for the rest of his life. She was really scared.’

Surely, others heard about these threats. Were they just not taken seriously? Did they dismiss his threats as “all talk”? Doesn’t matter. No normal person TALKS like that. Someone should’ve intervened.

‘I know he had pestered her to go out with him. She kept telling him no. For one, he supposedly already had a girlfriend. And two, she just didn’t have feelings for the boy,’ added Thomas, of Huffman, Texas.

‘What kind of a person thinks the appropriate response is to kill her and a class full of people. It’s insane that my daughter was picked out as the one.

‘She was a beautiful girl, someone full of light. She was real timid, she never talked bad to me or anyone else but I know she finally stood up to him before this happened and told him to cut it out.’

My heart breaks for this family.

‘I am a Christian and I believe in Jesus. I believe my daughter has moved from here to heaven, those thoughts are what’s keeping me going. What I have a problem with is that none of these teachers or counselors saw this coming.

‘If they are smart enough to teach our kids, they should be smart enough to see when something is badly wrong with someone.

‘And how can they see a boy in a heavy trench coat walking into a hallway in 100F heat and not think something’s up with that?

‘I believe that all these school shootings would be avoidable if the teachers paid attention to their students.’

I’m not casting blame on anyone. I’m just asking a question. If this kid made threats, why didn’t anyone do anything? Why was it ignored? Did no one notice? Really?
