Life support to end for 'brain dead' school shooting victim
A teenage girl was brain dead days after being shot when a classmate opened fire inside their Maryland high school and was to be removed from life support, her mother said Thursday.
Melissa Willey told news reporters Thursday night that her daughter, 16-year-old Jaelynn Willey had "no life left in her." She said Jaelynn would be removed from life support during the evening, by the family's decision.
The mother, holding a young baby, said, "On Tuesday ... our lives changed completely and totally forever. My daughter was hurt by a boy who shot her in the head and took everything from our lives."
The teen was shot Tuesday by 17-year-old Austin Rollins at Great Mills High School in St. Mary's County.
Rollins died after shooting Willey.
