STEWARTVILLE, Minn. — The shooting of a high school wrestler and the suicide of a former teammate continued to confound investigators. Why did it happen? This much is known: Logan Moyer, age 19, showed up near the Stewartville High School parking lot with a rifle as the wrestling team was boarding a bus for tournament trip. This was about 5 a.m. last Friday. From. distance, Moyer targeted one wrestler and fired. After the single shot, he turned the rifle on himself and committed suicide. Plainly Moyer knew his target. A year earlier, when he was a high school senior, Moyer wrestled on the 40-biy team team. He was especially notable for his sturdy but shirt stature with congenital achondroplasia. He smiled easily under his a tousled haircut. He was on the team’s series promotional posters in a singlet and took on much taller opponents in his weight class. His motive for the shooting, which easily could have been fatal? That remains an unanswered question. His family, writing his obituary, called his death unexpected. His funeral service has been scheduled for Saturday followed by a private family burial.
