Antonios Pagourtzis, the father of accused Santa Fe High School shooter Dimitrios Pagourtzis, has described his son as a "good boy" who had been bullied at school.  In a Monday interview with the Wall Street Journal, he said he believes that being "mistreated at school" was, "what was behind" the 17-year-old's alleged actions.  According to the Associated Press, the attorneys for the younger Pagourtzis are investigating the possibility that his football coaches were involved in the bullying. Meanwhile, the school district says it has already looked into the matter and found no evidence that the teenager was bullied.
Dimitrios Pagourtzis has yet to enter a plea and is being held without bail and under suicide watch at the Galveston County Jail, notes CNN. The Friday shooting at the Texas high school claimed the lives of eight students and two teachers.
