'''Dimitrios Pagourtzis''' (October 12<sup>th</sup>, 2000 - ) is a [[School Shooting|school shooter]] who killed 10 people and wounded 13 others at Santa Fe High School in Santa Fe, Texas. He was born to Greek immigrant parents. According to students, Dimitrios was an odd character who preferred to wear a trench coat almost every day (much like Columbine shooters [[Eric Harris]] and [[Dylan Klebold]]), even in the heat. He was also described as a reserved character who kept to himself and didn't talk to many people. Pagourtzis had indicated in his journals that he was suicidal. According to at least one witness, Pagourtzis was the victim of bullying by multiple students and coaches.
