.A girl, 13, was in stable condition Tuesday night following surgery, authorities said. A boy, 11, was in critical condition after surgery.
.The bloodshed rattled students and other citizens of Roswell, a city of just under 50,000 people 200 miles southeast of Albuquerque. Monique Salcido, a Berrendo Middle School student who saw two of her friends get shot, admitted she is "in shock."
."I don't want to go to Berrendo again because of what happened," she told CNN's Piers Morgan. "Because I'm afraid it's going to happen again."
Students shot in N.M. school shooting .The horror might have been much worse if not for one staff member. "(He) walked right up to him and asked him to put down the firearm," said New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez.
.At a vigil Tuesday evening at the Roswell Convention & Civic Center, Martinez cited the teacher by name, saying, "Mr. Masterson ... was a hero ...who stood there and allowed a gun to be pointed right at him. And to talk down that young boy to drop the gun so that there would be no more young kids hurt."
. snip .Authorities detained a seventh-grader who is "responsible for this," said State Police Chief Pete Kassetas.
. snip .It all ended fairly quickly when Salcido said a Berrendo staffer ran "and told him to put the gun down."
."He had his hands up in the air," Salcido said of the shooter, adding that students were then put on lockdown for about two hours in their classrooms as some teachers tended to the wounded students.
.A New Mexico state police lieutenant happened to be dropping off his child at the school when the principal saw him as she was locking the door during the shooting, Martinez said. She asked the lieutenant to assist, and he helped secure the scene, she said.
.Said Chief Kassetas: "I commend the principal and the people that work at this school for saving many more lives."
.State police planned to interview more than 100 students and faculty Tuesday. "We're going to be here for quite some time," the police chief told reporters Tuesday afternoon.
