The teenage son of the chairman of the Indian reservation where 10 people were killed in a school shooting last week has been charged with conspiracy, news reports said yesterday.
The student at the Red Lake high school in northern Minnesota was arrested on Sunday as police investigated the possibility that Jeffrey Weise did not act alone when he carried out the worst classroom shooting since the Columbine massacre in 1999.

The teenager was identified yesterday as Louis Jourdain, aged 16 or 17, and the son of Floyd Jourdain Jr, the chairman of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported yesterday that Louis Jourdain had been able to identify the shooter as soon as he had heard the first shot, although he could not see what was going on.
