Detectives are still investigating what led to a man shooting his wife, Willet Ricks, and killing his niece 18-year-old Jodie Lore, on Mother’s Day.

On Tuesday, grief counselors were brought in to West Nassau High School in Callahan where Lore was a student.

Skyler Morgan knew Lore. He was saddened by the situation and he said the news affected  more than just her schoolmates.

“Everybody, even my little brother knew from the middle school. He was shook, and he didn’t even know her at all,” Morgan said.

He said although they didn’t talk every day, its hurts to know how her life tragically ended and it hurts even more to know she will never experience graduation.

“It’s crazy because it’s so soon, and it’s right there. Like graduation was right there, and it just happened,” Morgan said.
