Wounded teacher voices resentment
By United Press International
WICHITA — One of two teachers shot and wounded Monday by a rifle-toting student at Goddard Junior High School said yesterday he felt bitterness toward the suspect, who fired his weapon like a soldier.
The 14-year-old student suspected of killing the school's principal and wounding three others during the shooting rampage was being held at a Wichita youth detention center yesterday awaiting filing of charges.
Authorities continued to decline comment on what they think may have been a motive in the shooting spree.
Donald Harris, 39, a driver education teacher and wrestling coach who was shot in the leg, said at a news conference yesterday that the suspect fired his semi-automatic military rifle without warning.
"HE JUST TURNED around, squatted down and fired," said a tearful Harris. "I could not believe that he actually fired a weapon."
The suffering of Harris 'and the others, as well as the death of Principal James McGee, who was a victim of torture with some bitterness, Harris said.
"I lost a friend," said Harris, barely able to speak through his sobs.
Shortly before Harris and Daniel Williams, a student who was wounded in the pelvic area, were shot, the gunman aimed his gun and fired at McGee. A teacher, Dawn Swearingen, 32, was hit in the head by bullet fragments.
McGee, 35, died about 2 $ \frac{1}{2} $ hours after the 11 a.m. shooting. Swearingen was in good condition yesterday at St. Joseph Medical Center in Philadelphia and Williams were both listed in good condition at a Wichita hospital.
