MARINETTE, Wis. — After months of investigations, police in northeastern Wisconsin said Friday that they never found a clue to explain why a popular teenager held his high school class hostage for six hours before fatally shooting himself as a SWAT team swarmed the classroom.
Investigators talked to Sam Hengel’s family, friends, teachers, classmates and even his Boy Scout leaders, looking for the slightest hint as to why the 15-year-old brought two handguns and ammunition to class Nov. 29. But nearly every interview painted a similar portrait of a smart, quiet leader who was well-liked and didn’t have problems with bullies.
