2 Delano High School student deaths in a single day shakes community

DELANO, Calif. (KGET) — In any small city like Delano, losing one teenager is a tragic community-wide incident, but losing two on the same day is almost unheard of.

The tragic incident happened 10 days ago, and people within Delano are still left with unanswered questions. Authorities haven’t released the names of the two students.

“One of the things that I did share is that Delano High School District is very saddened by the passing of two students,” said Rene Ayon, Director of Student Services of Delano High School District. “Both students were Delano High School students.”
