He also said autopsy reports won't be released while the case is pending.
Galveston County Judge Mark Henry, the county's top administrator, has said police exchanged rounds with Pagourtzis "for quite a while" before he surrendered a half-hour after the first reports of a shooter on campus.
One Santa Fe school police officer who responded to the attack was shot and remained in critical condition Sunday, according to the University of Texas Medical Branch.
Zach Wofford, an 18-year-old senior, was across the hallway when the shooting began and said he heard gunfire that lasted 10 to 15 minutes from the art classroom. That's where Breanna Quintanilla, a 17-year-old junior, was when the attack began. She said Pagourtzis had aimed at her and missed but that it ricocheted into her right leg.
The suspect in custody was identified as 17-year-old Dimitrios Pagourtzis, Galveston County Sheriff Henry Trochesset said in a statement.
Investigators said Pagourtzis admitted to authorities that he went on a shooting rampage at a Southeast Texas high school that left 10 dead, most of them students.
Pagourtzis is being held without bond at the Galveston County Jail. He is charged with capital murder of multiple persons and aggravated assault against a public servant.
He recently posted a photo wearing a T-shirt reading "Born to Kill" and there were also photos of a long dark jacket with Nazi symbols.
Superintendent Dr. Leigh Wall said the school will be closed Monday and Tuesday to allow people time to grieve.

The 17-year-old son of mother Rose Maria Kosmetatos and father Antonios Pagourtzis now stands accused of being the school shooter at Santa Fe High School in Texas. The accused shooter also goes by the name Dimitri Pagourtzis. Authorities have also detained a person of interest in connection with the mass shooting, but it’s not yet clear who that person is or why they are possibly connected.
Authorities now say that the guns allegedly used by Dimitrios were his father’s legally purchased weapons.
The teenager from Santa Fe, Texas is accused of murdering 10 people – one teacher and nine students – in the horrific attack at the Texas school, according to authorities, who said that the suspect, who is still alive and is in custody, may have planted explosives in and around the school. The victims’ names have not yet been released. The shooting comes in the wake of renewed calls for gun control in the wake of the Parkland, Florida school shooting. Dimitrios Pagourtzis is also accused of leaving behind a trail of troubling social media posts, some of which fixated on guns on an Instagram page that appears to have belonged to him.
Pagourtzis, 17, is charged with capital murder and no bond.
