CLOVIS, N.M. (AP) — The teenager accused of gunning down two employees inside a New Mexico public library had planned to shoot up his high school but went to the library instead, according to court documents filed Wednesday.
Nathaniel Jouett, 16, told police he did not know why he picked the Clovis-Carver Public Library and that he did not know anyone there, the documents said.
But he told investigators he had wanted to target his high school for a long time because he was "mad at everyone since he got kicked out of school last year," the documents said. He also told them he felt like no one liked him.
Jouett was on a two-day suspension from Clovis High School on Monday, the day of the shooting. The teen's pastor, David Stevens, has said that Jouett said he had fought back after another boy hit him.
