Red flags on shooter’s social media

THE SUSPECTED shooter who opened fire and killed 10 people at Santa Fe High School in Texas on Friday was a student and former football player with a history of disturbing Facebook posts.

Dimitrios Pagourtzis, 17, was taken into custody after the massacre and held on a capital murder charge, law enforcement officials said.

On April 30, Pagourtzis posted an alarming photo on Facebook showing a prophetic Tshirt with the phrase, “Born to Kill.” Another post was of a trenchcoat covered with pins including an Iron Cross, a German military decoration favored by Adolf Hitler.

“Hammer and Sickle = Rebellion / Rising Sun = Kamikaze Tactics/Iron Cross = Bravery,” a caption to the photo read.

The Facebook account was pulled down Friday after the shooting.

According to the news channel, CW39 Houston, witnesses saw a student wearing a trench coat, army boots and a “Born to Kill” T-shirt at the school Friday morning.

Pagourtzis allegedly hid a shotgun under the coat and was taken into custody after the gunfire, officials said. Authorities are questioning a second student.

Investigators were searching a mobile home on Highway 6 that is believed to be Pagourtzis’ home, KHOU-11 reported.

Pagourtzis played on Santa Fe’s junior varsity football team during his freshman year.

According to an article on a school website, he was a defensive lineman who played a “huge role” during a game in 2016.

His parents, identified as Antonios Pagourtzis and Rose Marie Kosmetatos, married in Harris County in 2000, according to the county clerk.

The dad’s Facebook profile featured photos of the family in happier times, with a young Dimitrios smiling in several shots taken during a trip to New York City.

He included NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch among his “likes” and said he’s originally from the town of Magoulítsa in central Greece.

Attempts to reach the family were not immediately successful Friday.
