Police identify Roseburg High School shooting suspect
- ROSEBURG, Ore. - Police have identified the 14-year-old boy accused of shooting a 16-year-old Roseburg High School classmate.

Roseburg Police Sergeant Aaron Dunbar says the suspect's name is Vincent Wayne Leodoro.

Arraignment for Leodoro is set at 1:05 p.m. It will be on closed-circuit T.V. He is being held in juvenile detention. Because he is only 14, Leodoro could not be tried as an adult under Oregon law.

Based on a police affidavit, Leodoro would be arraigned on felony charges of attempted murder, assault, illegal use of a firearm and illegal possession of a firearm.

After more than three hours of surgery yesterday, Monti is listed in serious but stable condition.

Meanwhile, Monti was cited by police for harassment on a school bus on February 14th. Dunbar says Monti spat on somebody.

Dunbar says that incident did not involve Leodoro.
