Student, Reportedly in Two Face Costume, Kills Himself in Junior High Hallway

Stillwater, OK
Students, parents, staff, and concerned citizens are mourning the loss of Cade Poulos after he died in a junior high school hallway Wednesday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Poulos, a 13-year-old Stillwater Junior High School student, shot himself in the head with a handgun before classes started Wednesday morning.

Students sprinted for the doors and the school building was quickly locked down and the school's eighth- and ninth-graders were evacuated.

Students at an adjacent elementary school were also evacuated.

At the time of the first and only gunshot, students were gathered throughout the school prior to the start of classes. There were dozens of kids near Poulos, who authorities say didn't leave a suicide note, when he shot himself.
