'He asked if Ryan believed in God then shot him'

THE suspect in the worst US school massacre since Columbine smiled and waved as he gunned down five students, a teacher and a guard, asking one of his victims whether he believed in God, witnesses said.

The neo-Nazi teen's grandfather and the man's wife also were found dead, and the boy killed himself.

Reggie Graves, a student at Red Lake High School, said he was in class on Monday when he heard the gunman blast his way past the metal detector at the school's entrance, killing a guard.
