A 14-year-old student has been charged as an adult in connection with a deadly shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, which claimed the lives of two students and two teachers. The incident occurred in the hallway outside the student's algebra classroom, with the shooter using an assault-style rifle. This tragic event adds to the growing number of school shootings in the US.
Here’s what we know about the victims:
Christian Angulo, 14, was one of the students who lost their life. His sister Lisette remembered him on a GoFundMe page as a sweet, caring boy who was deeply loved by many. "He was a very good kid and very sweet and so caring. His loss was so sudden and unexpected. He really didn't deserve this," Lisette wrote, AP reported.
Mason Schermerhorn, 14, was known for his ever-present smile and friendly nature. Tommy Pickett, a neighbor, shared memories of Mason growing up, describing him as inquisitive and amiable. "He always was smiling. He always was funny... When he talked to you, he smiled. I just can't believe he's gone like that," Pickett told AP. The news of Mason's passing profoundly impacted those who knew him, including his mother's friend Louis Briscoe, who said his heart sank upon hearing of the tragedy.
Christina Irimie, 53, a math teacher, was deeply involved in her local Romanian community. She was known for her commitment to her students and her dedication to cultural events, leaving a lasting impact on those around her. "She was someone you could always count on," said Nicolae Clempus, a friend from the Romanian expat community.
Richard Aspinwall, 39, a math teacher and the school's defensive football coordinator, was remembered by colleagues as a devoted family man and mentor. "He coached old-school ways, but he loved those kids," football coach Mike Hancock told AP. Jay Garcia, a former player, expressed appreciation for Aspinwall's guidance, saying, "He helped me a lot, both in football and in life."
