GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — It has been eight days since four people were killed after authorities said a 14-year-old suspect opened fire at a high school in Winder, Georgia.
LaTasha McMillan, a Michigan native now living in Georgia, is one of hundreds of neighbors still grieving this tragedy. Her niece Jeina, was inside the high school when the shots were fired.
“It was a chaotic day; it was very very scary. Right now … I think I am still in a state of shock,” McMillan told News 8. “My niece did lose her math teacher, and she is pretty devastated right now. The first thing I did was I just hugged my niece, I just hugged her for as long as I could and just told her that I was so sorry that she had to experience this.”
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation identified the students killed in the shooting at Apalachee High School as Mason Schermerhorn, 14, and Christian Angulo, 14. The two teachers were identified as Richard Aspinwall and Christina Irimie.
