A report by a friend of mine, Suzanne McCarroll, a long time reporter at KCNC-TV here is just too sad.
Here is a part of it:
"BAILEY, Colo. The 16-year-old girl who died in the Bailey tragedy sent a loving message to her family before she was shot inside Platte Canyon High School on Wednesday afternoon, CBS4 has learned.
Emily Keyes had recently turned 16 and was given a phone as a present, family spokesman Louis Gonzalez said.
Her father couldn't reach her after the lockdown at the school started, so he had someone help him send a text message to her through his phone. He asked if she was OK in the message.
Her reply at 1:52 p.m. was short and simple:
"I love you guys."
Keyes was shot 2 hours later in the school by Duane R. Morrison, 53, and was pronounced dead at a Denver hospital."
