"As more people find out who it was, the shock will grow because they're from the town. Most of us, after a day of wondering, are just trying to find out some of the details. I don't think anyone has a clear picture yet."Myers, a math teacher at Schaller-Crestland High School, said he was Wehde's teacher for several years."We didn't always get along," he said. "He wasn't as social as any of the other kids. I never would have expected him to do something like this."No charges had been filed late Friday. http://www.dmregister.com/news/stories/c4788993/16773682.html
