Ten people have been killed and 10 others injured after a student opened fire at a Texas high school.
 
The attacker, who was arrested and charged with murder, was identified as Dimitrios Pagourtzis, a 17 year-old pupil at Santa Fe High School.
 
He allegedly used a shotgun and a revolver taken from his father, who legally owned the weapons.
 
The police say most of the dead are students.
 
"As soon as the alarms went off, everybody just started running outside and next thing you know, everybody looks and you hear 'boom, boom, boom,' and I just ran as fast as I could to the nearest floor so I could hide and call my mom," Dakota Shrader, a student, recounted to CBS News.  
 
The last high school shooting in the US happened in February at Parkland in Florida.
 
That attack left 17 dead and spawned a nationwide youth-led campaign for gun control.
