Girl, 17, is jailed in fatal shooting

I am a mom of a friend of Tessa Abbott. I think this entire situation is very bothering and I spoke with my son about it and he said that his circle of friends is very small due to situations just like this. He said "I don't know who to trust anymore." I would like to express my deepest sympathy to Tessa's parents. I can't start to imagine the pain they must be experiencing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I went to school with Tessa since the 4th grade. She was very nice to me, and the whole experience has been tragic. My thoughts and prayers with you too.

May God bless the family and friends of Tessa Abbott.This situation is unfortunate,our young people need to realize that you life can change in a matter of seconds. And the choices they make will effect the rest of their lives(good or bad).

I taught Diana this last year, and she is a brilliant young person who had to overcome a lot that she shouldn't have at 17. I believe that this tragic situation was an accident and my heart and prayers are with both families because not 1 but 2 lives were destroyed.

thank u so much for speaking ur mind and may god be with you!!! this means alot to me <3 always a friend of dianas
