Delle was described by schoolmates as "real quiet" and known for "acting sad." …… After coming into class late that morning …… Delle was told to get an admittance slip from the school office …… He left the classroom …… And returned with a .357 Magnum revolver …… Delle walked to the front of the classroom …… Announced "Miss, I got what I really went for" …… Put the barrel of the firearm in his mouth …… And pulled the trigger before his teacher or classmates could react.
