RED LAKE, MINN. - At least 22 people have been killed or injured after a gunman went on a shooting spree in northern Minnesota.
At least eight were shot and killed at Red Lake High School on Monday afternoon. Two others, a man and a woman, were found dead inside a home in the community.
At least 14 others were injured, according to police. <P>
FBI spokesman Paul McCabe said six students were among the dead. A teacher and a security guard were also killed.
All of the students died in the same room. The gunman is believed to be one of the dead students.
The high school has about 300 students. It is on the Red Lake Indian Reservation about 400 kilometres north of Minneapolis.
Monday's incident is the worst school shooting in the United States since two teens went on a killing rampage at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, killing 12 students and a teacher and wounding 23 before killing themselves, on April 20, 1999.
