Authorities have identified the two students killed Thursday in a shooting at Aztec High School in the small town of Aztec, New Mexico, along with the gunman, who apparently took his own life. Students Casey Jordan Marquez, 17, and Francisco “Paco” Fernandez, 18, were fatally shot Thursday morning just as classes were starting. Officials said they don’t believe either was targeted. “We ... believe they were in the wrong place at the wrong time,” San Juan County Sheriff Ken Christesen said at a news conference Friday. At a candlelight vigil Thursday, family and friends described Marquez, a school cheerleader, as vibrant and caring.
