Authorities in New Mexico this morning identified 21-year-old William Atchinson as the shooter who killed two teens and then himself at a high school on Thursday as part of a carefully planned attack, less than a year after he had been investigated and cleared by the FBI.

During a press conference on Friday, San Juan County Sheriff Ken Christensen said Atchinson was able to slip into Aztec High School at the start of the school day on Thursday by disguising himself as a student.

‘It was a single coward shooter,’ the sheriff said. ‘This was a planned event.’

According to officials, Atchinson carried out the massacre with a Glock handgun he had purchased in November, and he left behind writings indicating that he had been planning the shooting for some time.

Christensen told reporters his investigators have recovered a thumb drive with a manifesto penned by the 21-year-old, in which he said, in part, that he was planning to take a classroom hostage and ‘go apes**t,’ then ‘blow my brains out.’

On Thursday night, San Juan County Sheriff’s Office identified the victims as Casey Jordan-Marquez, 17, and Francisco Fernandez, according to KRQE-TV.
