Red Lake Massacre Foretold

Even as final funerals were held for the victims of high school shooter Jeff Weise, the Red Lake reservation was jolted with the news that some of Weise's classmates may have known of his intended massacre.

"It's akin to an aftershock that we were in the midst of the burying of our dead," Tribal Secretary Judy Roy tells CBS News correspondent Hattie Kauffman, "and then to know that more of our children may have been involved."

It seemed the case was solved since Weise killed himself during the shooting. But then, another teen-ager Louis Jourdain, the son of the tribal chairman, was arrested.

"He's being made to be the scapegoat now," Louis's grandmother, Shirley Lussier, says, "and so are these other boys they say are involved in this. They're all stay-at-home boys who aren't out in the public like some of the kids around here."

Was Louis bullied?

"Louis was bullied too. But he never talked about it; he just took it, like Jeff took it," Lussier says, crying. "I know he's innocent. He would never hurt anybody. He would never hurt a soul. He's not that kind of a boy. He's a very gentle mild boy."

So far, Jourdain's is the only arrest. But police seized computers from the school that could link up to two dozen kids.

Some on the reservation believe the police when they say there could be a conspiracy; others say the FBI is just over reacting, that these were kids talking tough, being typical teens.

"I don't think there was a conspiracy," says Lee Cook, executive director of the American Indian Resource Center at Bemidji State University. "But if they pick up stuff off of the computer that kids chat about and a lot of time talk tough, I don't think they do with any 'serious' intent but just to converse."

On this remote reservation near the Canadian border, kids are at a loss. In this very small town, many were friends with or related to both victims and the shooter, like Jennifer Stately. Now she remembers threats she heard a year ago.

Stately says, "Last year, when they said that they were going to shoot up the school on Hitler's birthday, the first person they blamed was Jeff. And Jeff was mad about it. He told me he wasn't thinking about doing that."

What does she think about the news Louis Jourdain was arrested and that police think more people are involved?

"I don't know what to think about it," she says, "There's a lot of rumors going around."

The high school principal wonders what the school could have done differently.

"We did have security in place," Chris Dunshee says. "We did have cameras; we did have metal detectors, and things like that, and how far do you go with that?"

The tribal council supports the FBI investigation.

Roy says, "It's absolutely necessary that the investigation go through to the end, to ascertain if there are other children out there who are in need of help, that we get them the help they need, because we don't want any follow-up or any more copycats going on."

While the investgation continues, so do the tears.

Jennifer Stately's mother, Juliet White, says, "It's really hard to watch my children go through this, and all I can do is pray and listen to them, and pray for all the parents, and kids, and families that have lost loved ones."

So far, there have been no official charges in the case. And the Jourdain family insists their son is innocent. The school has delayed the opening of the middle school and high school indefinitely.
