The teenage girl who was shot by an ex-boyfriend inside their Maryland high school died late Thursday after she was removed from life support, the sheriff's office said Friday.
Jaelyn Willey died at 11:34 p.m. ET just hours after her mother said the 16-year-old was brain dead and that there was "no life left in her."
"My daughter was hurt by a boy who shot her in the head ... and took everything from our lives, " Melissa Willey said at a news conference. "She will not make it."
The teen was shot Tuesday by 17-year-old Austin Rollins at Great Mills High School in St. Mary’s County.
This young lady was apparently the main target for this gunman, as she had recently ended a relationship with him.
The teenage gunman shot her and anther student, before being gunned down by a school resource officer.
So what should have been a momentary teenage heartbreak, ended with the completely unnecessary deaths of two young people who would still be alive in a country where guns were not so readily available.
Guns do not protect life, guns take life.
Period.
I have no words.
ReplyDeleteThat picture just got me.
I can hear stoopid fucking wingnuts blame the victim for breaking her boyfriend's heart. Yeah, getting offed is the price you pay putting yerself above the wants and needs of a ticking time bomb with a gun.

ReplyDelete"DeVos had also proposed to slash the $732 million Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, of which 71 percent of its recipients are from households that make under $30,000 annually, the Post noted. Democrats and Republicans decided instead to increase the grant's funding by $107 million.
The differences between Congress' omnibus spending bill and DeVos's budget proposals represent an astounding indictment of her leadership of the Education Department. Congress is perhaps more gridlocked than ever before, but lawmakers from both parties have practically dismissed DeVos's intended plans."
Unless she follows the model of her fellow Deplorables and NEVER SPENDS THE MONEY.
DeleteGrant money doesn't do any good when no grants are awarded.
Poor girl, just awful. But I predict we’ll be hearing about this particular school shooting all the damn time. After all, it is one of the very rare incidents where an armed officer already at the scene killed the perpetrator. Which is good, I’m not knocking the officer. It’s just very rare that this happens.
ReplyDeleteIt helped that unlike Columbine where the officer engaged the shooters, and unlike Parkland where they didn't. The shooter had a handgun, not an assault weapon. The NRA won't acknowledge that it's, and this is relative, easier for a good guy with a gun to take out a bad guy with a gun, when the good guy is similarly armed and better trained.
DeleteHow much violence is directed at women in the name of love?
ReplyDeleteHow many are "punished" when they end a relationship?
It's getting to the point where you are afraid to have any sort of romantic contact with anyone.

ReplyDeletePennsylvania School District Has a Plan to Deal With a Shooter: Rocks
"Why rocks? “At one time I just had the idea of river stone, they`re the right size for hands, you can throw them very hard and they will create or cause pain, which can distract,” he explained. The idea is that if there is an armed intruder “who attempts to gain entrance to any of our classrooms, they will face a classroom full of students armed with rocks,” he said. “And they will be stoned.”"
