ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Police say a note found in a 16-year-old New Mexico boy's pocket indicated that he had planned to kill his ex-girlfriend and others on Valentine's Day, when he fired a gunshot inside his high school.

No one was injured in the shooting Thursday morning at V. Sue Cleveland High School in Rio Rancho, a suburb of Albuquerque.

A search warrant affidavit filed by authorities in court and obtained by the Albuquerque Journal on Friday said that the teen also intended to kill himself, but instead put down the weapon after opening fire and ran to a dry wash where he was arrested.

Citing surveillance video, police said they teen wore a ski mask that he took off before entering the school.

1. I was in ABQ yesterday and the guy I was meeting had to leave to get his daughter

After the lockdown. He came back and we talked about it. He and his daughter just passed it off like it was nothing and talked about V day dinner and what flowers he got for his wife.

It almost felt like just another day I am very sorry to say.
