SAN DIEGO (KGTV)--A suicide note was found inside the jacket pocket of a 15-year-old boy who police fatally shot Saturday in the parking lot of his high school, officials said Monday.
San Diego Police said the note was discovered during the Torrey Pines High School student's autopsy and it "indicates the decedent planned the incident that resulted in his death."

The freshman pointed a BB gun at responding officers after he called police shortly before 3:30 a.m., according to Assistant Police Chief Brian Ahearn.
The 911 call asked for police to conduct a welfare check on someone at the parking lot of the school. Police now believe the student placed the call himself and was referring to himself, the Associated Press reported.

Police have still not released the name of the boy but a growing stream of mourners at the school parking lot where Jacob Peterson died identified the kid they called "sweet," "helpful," and "brilliant."
Students and parents dropped off flowers and cards over the weekend and questioned what led up to the campus tragedy.
