Summary:Then came the unexpected: Eight grader James Sheets, wearing a black overcoat, stood up, pulled out a handgun and fired a single shot into [Eugene Segro]'s chest. Sheets, 14, of Red Lion, died at the scene of a single gunshot wound. Segro, 51, of York, was pronounced dead in hospital. Red Lion Borough police Chief Walt Hughes said Sheets entered the school armed with at least three handguns in his book bag. Hughes said he learned from Sheets' parents the boy somehow got the key to their locked gun safe and took three revolvers. The principal was killed with a .44-calibre weapon, while the student is believed to have been killed with a .22-calibre weapon, York County Coroner Barry Bloss said.
