Ten people have been killed and 10 others injured after a student opened fire at a Texas high school, the state governor said.
The attacker, who was arrested and charged with murder, was identified as Dimitrios Pagourtzis, a 17-year-old pupil at Santa Fe High School.
He allegedly used a shotgun and a revolver taken from his father, who legally owned the weapons.
Most of the dead are students, police said.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott said "various kinds of explosive devices" had been found at the school, 40 miles (65km) south of Houston, and off-campus. They included "a CO2 device" and "a Molotov cocktail", he said.
Mr Abbott said police found information on the suspect's diary, computer, and mobile phone suggesting that he planned the attack and intended to kill himself afterwards.
The governor said the teenager "gave himself up" because "he didn't have the courage to commit the suicide".
Santa Fe Police Chief Jeff Powell advised residents to be aware of any suspicious objects they find. "Do not touch any items that look out of place," he said.
Santa Fe school police officer John Barnes has been named among the injured. He was in a critical condition and undergoing surgery, local media reported.
Also on Friday, one woman died and another was injured in a shooting outside a high school graduation ceremony in in Atlanta.
So far this year, more than 5,000 people have died in shooting incidents in the United States, according to monitoring group the Gun Violence Archive.
How the attack unfolded
Students said the shooter entered an art class and opened fire shortly before 08:00 (13:00 GMT).
"There was someone that walked in with a shotgun and started shooting," one witness told KTRK-TV, "and this girl got shot in the leg."
One student told local network KHOU-11 that a teacher who realised what was happening activated a fire alarm to evacuate the building.
Dakota Shrader, a student, told CBS News that everyone began running outside when the alarms went off.
"Next thing you know everybody looks, and you hear boom, boom, boom, and I just ran as fast as I could to the nearest floor so I could hide, and I called my mom."
Another student, Damon Rabon, told CBS he looked out of his classroom after hearing loud bangs and saw the shooter. "Black trench coat, short kind of guy, had a sawed-off shotgun," he said.
There were 1,400 students in the school at the time of the attack, according to Lt Gov Dan Patrick.
Shock and grief at a vigil for the victims

Hundreds of people gathered at sunset on Friday on a large open lawn near to the school, for a vigil to remember the dead.
The sound of preachers and politicians was intermittently drowned out by wailing and sobs from attendees - still in shock at the violence that had come to this small town of 18,000.
John Overbeck, a final-year student at Santa Fe High School, said he saw a man fall to the ground as he fled the gunman.
"I don't know how to feel. I don't know if it's hit me yet. When something like this happens, it's just so easy to be distracted from it," he told the BBC. "I feel like when I'm isolated later, I'm going to break down."
Much of the area around the school remained cordoned off to the public on Friday evening. Behind the police tape, in the school's car park, vehicles belonging to students and staff sat where they had been left that morning, before the shooting began.
The reaction
President Donald Trump, speaking at a prison reform event at the White House, described the attack as "absolutely horrific".
"My administration is determined to do everything in our power to protect our students, secure our schools, and to keep weapons out of the hands of those who pose a threat to themselves, and to others," he said.
He ordered flags to be flown at half-mast at the White House and all public and military buildings.
Two weeks ago, the US president reiterated his call to arm teachers with guns during a speech in Dallas to the National Rifle Association.
Governor Abbott called the shooting "one of the most heinous attacks that we've ever seen in the history of Texas schools".
"It's impossible to describe the magnitude of the evil of someone who would attack innocent children in a school," he said.
First Lady Melania Trump tweeted: "My heart goes out to Santa Fe and all of Texas today."
One professional athlete from the state - JJ Watt, of the Houston Texans NFL team - has offered to pay the funeral expenses of the victims, according to US media reports.
