Teenage girl shot in Maryland high school shooting dies

A teenage girl shot at a Maryland school earlier this week has died, police said Friday. 

Sixteen-year-old Jaelynn Willey was taken off life support at 11:34 p.m. on Thursday at the University of Maryland Prince George’s Hospital Center, according to The Associated Press. Willey’s mother previously told reporters that there was “no life left in her.”

Willey was shot in the head on Tuesday by 17-year-old Austin Rollins at Great Mills High School in St. Mary’s County. Rollins and Willey had reportedly just ended a relationship.

Rollins died at the scene on Tuesday when a school resource officer exchanged gunfire with Rollins, though it remains unclear whether he died at the officer’s hand or by a self-inflicted gunshot. 

Desmond Barnes, a 14-year old student at the high school, also suffered a gunshot wound in the thigh but was treated at a hospital and released on Wednesday. 

The deadly shooting took place just one month after a mass shooting at a Parkland, Fla., high school that has reinvigorated the national debate about gun control.
