Colt Gray , 14 , rode the bus to school with a semiautomatic assault rifle hidden in his backpack.

He left his second -period classroom after getting permission to go to the front office, investigators say.

He hid from teachers in a bathroom before emerging to begin the assault.

The teen's grandfather tells CBS News that the morning of the shooting, his mother, Marcee Gray , received a cryptic message.

People are shot in the hallway and inside at least one classroom, as others in the halls scramble for safety.

Students in other classrooms who hear the gunshots begin texting and calling their parents.

Some students say the three teachers who are shot are trying to protect students.

Colt Gray immediately surrenders and is taken into custody.
