16-Year Old Maryland High School Shooting Victim Dies After Being Taken
Off Life Support
A 16-year-old girl shot earlier this week
at her Maryland high school has died.
The St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office said Friday that Jaelynn Willey
died at 11:34 p.m. Thursday.
Earlier Thursday night, Willey's family said Jaelynn would be taken off
life support at University of Maryland Prince George's Hospital Center.
Jaelynn was shot in the head Tuesday morning at Great Mills High School
by 17-year-old Austin Rollins. Police say the two had been in a
relationship that recently ended.
A 14-year-old student, Desmond Barnes, was also injured.
Rollins was killed in the attack. It remains unclear whether he
committed suicide or was shot by a school resource officer who responded
to the attack.
The sheriff's office said Jaelynn was surrounded by her family when she
died.
