Great Mills High School Heartbreak
The 16-year-old girl who was critically wounded this week when she was shot by a fellow student at her high school in Maryland has been taken off life support on Thursday evening, her mother said.
Melissa Willey told a news briefing at Prince George’s Hospital Center in Cheverly, Maryland, that her daughter, Jaelynn Willey, was taken off life support due to brain death.
“She will not make it. We will be taking her off life support this evening. She is brain dead and has nothing, no life left in her.” Melissa Willey told reporters.
The teen recently ended a relationship with 17-year-old REDACTED, who opened fire at Great Mills High School in St. Mary’s County on Tuesday morning, authorities confirmed.

Not one to let a tragic event pass, Maryland Congressman Steny Hoyer arrived shortly after the shooting.
“Every time something like this occurs, we pray it will be the last. But that is unlikely to be the case until Congress takes meaningful action. When I met with students from Maryland last week who participated in the National School Walkout, I heard in their voices a yearning for action and positive change. They deserve an America where, in the words of one of those students, the ‘right to own an assault rifle does not outweigh our right to live.’
“Today, I will be with the students, teachers, parents, and first responders in Great Mills. When I return to Washington, I will continue doing everything in my power to pressure Congress to remove this danger that now sows fear in every community in our country. Thoughts and prayers and moments of silence are not enough. The halls of Congress are a place for action, a place where silence must no longer prevail.”
The only saving grace is Desmond Barnes, the other shooting victim, has been released from the local hospital and is doing well now. And of course, that School Resource Officer Deputy First Class Blaine Gaskill was present and able to halt the shooter before any more damage could be done.

Requiesce in pace, Jaelynn.

Peace and comfort to the family of this young lady. May gratitude for the time they had with her eventually replace the loss they now feel for having her taken from them so soon.
AW1Ed. Out of respect for you and your effort, I am commenting, but there really isn’t much to say. I shake my head and try to ponder the loss to this young lady’s family and friends. The pain must be horrific and I join with OWB in wishing that the family finds peace.
Maryland Congressman Steny Hoyer:
“They deserve an America where, in the words of one of those students, the ‘right to own an assault rifle does not outweigh our right to live.’”
Well, Steny, the fact is that an ‘assault rifle’ was not used in this heinous attack. The weapon used was a handgun:
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/03/20/gunman-dead-two-injured-after-shooting-at-great-mills-high-school-in-maryland.html
“The shooter, Austin Wyatt Rollins, 17, was the only fatality. Police said Rollins used a handgun to shoot a 16-year-old female student, who was identified by family members as Jaelynn Willey.”
But what the heck, Steny, why let the facts get in the way of you dancing in the blood of the victims and trying to make leftist political hay about banning ‘assault rifles’ in the aftermath the killing of this lovely, innocent young woman?
Stinky Hoyer “heard in their voices” just exactly what the anti 2nd amendment asshole wanted to hear….guess he couldn’t hear them saying they wanted the Bible and Prayer and Bible study back in school…so kids would bring Bibles instead of guns to school?
May God grant Jaelynn Willey and her family peace and the comfort only He can provide.
As a grandfather of a 16-year-old, this breaks my heart.
Heart breaking it is!
Damn right, Master Chief. I can’t at anything else at this time.
RIP young lady.
It’s small consolation, but at least the fucking cocksucking piece of rodent shit responsible is in Hell.
I can’t imagine the pain her parents are going through. I don’t think it could make that choice either way if, God forbid, something like this were to happen to one of my kids. I don’t think I could be functional at all. I do know that I would not tolerate any asshole politician or activist dancing on her grave like Hoyer.
Thoughts, prayers, and sympathies for them. They are going through the ultimate nightmare.

This is pretty sad but not unexpected when a woman is murdered 84% of the time it’s someone she knows or is related to, as is the case here…
It’s good the turd who did it is dead, too bad he wasn’t the only one who ended up dying.
And it’s no surprise that both sides are using it for political capital. I’ve seen comments from both pro and anti gun people.
Facebook is all a buzz with this stuff. We politicize everything these days. Especially death of kids and white women because that seems to resonate more with the public.
‘Maryland school shooting victim, Jaelynn Willey, 16, has died: police’
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/03/23/maryland-school-shooting-victim-jaelynn-willey-16-has-died-police.html?__twitter_impression=true
“The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office announced Friday that Jaelynn Willey died Thursday at 11:34 p.m. ET while surrounded by family.”
Rest in peace Jaelynn. Gone too young, too soon. God be with your family.
Steny Hoyer should change his party affiliation to ghoul.
This hurts…RIP Jaelynn.
Damn.
Rest in peace, Jaelynn … and burn in Hell, cowardly child who shot her.
RIP, young lady. May you have been in heaven half an hour before the Devil knew you were gone.
And for the “esteemed” Congressman Hoyer: just shut up, you ghoulish jerk. We’re tired of your lies. And the timing is worse than the lies themselves
To paraphrase a quote of John Brennan’s preferred candidate for POTUS back in the 1970’s, Gus Hall (CPUSA): “The happiest day of my life will be when the last murderer of young women [clergyman] is strangled to death on the guts of the last D-rat Congress critter [American Congressman].” [original quote] (Just to highlight the heroes of John Brennan.)
Dollars to doughnuts says Hoyer is a big fan of Brennan and Rahm “Twinkle Toes” Emanuel (“never let a crisis go to waste”).
Thanks all, for the kind thoughts and words. The tragic events from Tuesday through yesterday shook our small County to the core, and was not helped by politicians who shall go nameless here. Hope for the family and friends to find peace over time.
Fair winds and following seas, Jaelynn.
Coda.
