Texas school gunman sang 'Another One Bites The Dust' each time he shot a victim, yelled 'Woo-hoo!', and played a Japanese World War II military anthem over and over during his rampage that left 10 dead and at least 13 injured.


The Texas school shooter allegedly played a Japanese World War II military anthem, yelled 'Woo-hoo!' and sang the Queen hit 'Another One Bites The Dust' in his rampage that left 10 dead and another 13 wounded.



Details of Dimitrios Pagourtzis's chilling attack are coming out days after he killed eight students and two teachers at Santa Fe High School. 

Sophomore Kole Dixon told The New York Post that 17-year-old Pagourtizis purposely terrorized the students and teachers that he went after.

'My friend Trent was in the classroom and said after [Pagourtzis] would shoot a student he would sing: "Another one bites the dust",' Dixon told The Post.




'He also kept playing a kamikaze song over and over as loud as he could on his cellphone.'
The sophomore told the newspaper that Pagourtzis had the same kamikaze military anthem on his now-deleted YouTube page. 

On his also-deleted Facebook page, Pagourtzis had bragged of wearing a 'Rising Sun' insignia on his black trench coat, saying that  signified 'Kamikaze Tactics'.

Several other chilling images also appeared on the page including a black T-shirt with the words 'Born to Kill' printed across the front and another featuring a handgun a knife.

Report say that Pagourtzis yelled 'Surprise!' when he began his heinous attack by firing a shotgun through the door of a first-period art class.
In a post on Facebook on Friday night, Deedra Van Ness recounted how her daughter Isabelle Laymnace, survived the shooting by hiding in a 

closet. 'Isabelle has called the police and is whispering into the phone. They tell her to stay quiet and that help is on the way,' she wrote. 

'Then silence on the phone. They hear the gunman in the classroom next door yelling "Woo Hoo!" and firing more shots. 'The gunman then comes back into their room and they hear him saying: "Are you dead?" Then more shots are fired. 

By this time, cell phones all over the classroom are ringing and he's taunting the kids in the closet asking them: "Do you think it’s for you? Do you want to come answer it?" Thirteen in total were left wounded with two in critical condition.

Galveston County Judge Mark Henry said that he did not think the attack was 30 minutes of nonstop shooting. He said law enforcement acted quickly and had Pagourtzis in custody shortly after 8am, about 30 minutes after the first report of the shooting.

There have been several reports that Pagourtzis was being bullied at the school. One student said that Pagourtzis, who was on the junior varsity football team, was being bullied by the coaches.

The alleged romantic rejection took place just a week before the attack. According to charging documents, Pagourtzis confessed to the shooting and told investigators he had left students he liked alive so he could 'have his story told'.
