A teenage girl left brain dead after she was wounded in a school shooting in Maryland died after she was removed from life support, local officials said today.
The girl, 16 year old Jaelynn Willey, was shot in the head by the attacker, with whom she had had a relationship.
Another student was wounded in Tuesday's attack, and the assailant -- also a student -- was shot and killed by a police officer stationed at the high school in southern Maryland.
Writing on behalf of the Willey family, the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office issued a statement "with heavy hearts and great sadness," saying that Jaelynn Willey died at 11:34 pm (local time) yesterday "surrounded by her family."
