CONYERS, Ga. (AP) -- The 15-year-old sophomore accused of opening fire on his classmates had talked about shooting people at school and showed off the guns his stepfather kept in the basement of his home, friends say. ``People have been saying he's been wanting to do this all year long,'' said 15-year-old Katie Bir, a freshman at Heritage High School in suburban Atlanta and a friend of the gunman's ex-girlfriend. The suspect, identified by students as Thomas Solomon, lives with his mother, stepfather and 13-year-old sister at the end of a cul-de-sac of $275,000-plus homes with manicured lawns. His two-story brick house is nestled on a large, wooded lot with a basketball goal sitting at the end of a winding driveway. One other thing about the house stood out to those who knew the teen-ager -- ``lots of guns'' in the basement, said sophomore Chris Dunn, a friend of Solomon. ``He showed them to me and my brother one time. I don't know much about guns, but I think they were like, hunting guns,'' said 15-year-old Brad Morgan, who lives two houses away from the suspect and who rode the bus with him each day to school. Six students were wounded in Thursday's school shooting, but none of the injuries were life-threatening. It was unknown whether the family's guns were the two used in the attack. Friends and neighbors said the teen-ager was involved in the Boy Scouts and liked to play video games, including the violent ``Mortal Kombat.'' He was described as a quiet boy with a few close friends and had attended a youth service at the Catholic church his family attends the night before the shooting. ``He was pretty quiet, but around me and other people he would laugh and joke around,'' Dunn said. He said he never heard the suspect mention plans to shoot anyone at school. ``They were people that really kept to themselves,'' said Brad Morgan's father, Allan, who sometimes drove the suspect to summer school last year in the neighborhood car pool. ``He was a quiet kid, but I just chalked it up to him being shy.'' Some said his grades had slipped recently and his heart was broken after his girlfriend of nearly a year dumped him this week. ``He wasn't even trying anymore, which I was kind of concerned about,'' Dunn said. Friend and classmate Nathaniel Deeter, 15, said the suspect was ``really upset'' about the breakup. ``He said, `I have no reason to live anymore.' And I told him he was crazy. I thought he was just feeling sorry for himself because a lot of kids feel like that,'' Deeter said. On Thursday, reporters swarmed the one-street subdivision and detectives searched the boy's home, carrying boxes in and out. The family moved two years ago to this east Atlanta suburb from Kernersville, N.C. The boy's mother, Mae Dean Daniele, works as a secretary for a veterinarian. The stepfather, Robert Daniele, is a trucking executive. A friend of the suspect, 16-year-old Glen Ganyard III, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Solomon had recently received a handgun as a gift from his parents, but they took it away when they learned he was carrying the gun around. ``He said he knew where it was hidden,'' he said. -=-=-
