PLYMOUTH, Conn. — Plymouth Interim Superintendent Sherry Turner sent out a letter early on Saturday after a Terryville High School student died, and an Fisher Elementary School student got injured in a shooting on Friday.
“We are devastated by this unthinkable tragedy and are comforted in knowing that we are part of an amazing community that will pull together to support each other through this difficult time. Please keep the family in your thoughts and prayer.” reads the letter.
A sibling of the victims, who attends Eli Terry Jr. Middle School, was not home at the time.
Turner says a crisis team has been assembled to provide counseling to families and staff at Eli Terry Jr. Middle School, with services being delivered Sunday from 1 PM to 4 PM. Another team of social workers, counselors, and psychologists will be available to support students and staff when they return to school on Monday.
43-year-old Naomi Bell has been charged with Murder with Special Circumstances and Criminal Attempt to Commit Murder with Special Circumstances. She is being held on a $2.5 million bond and is set to be arraigned in New Britain Superior Court on November 16th.
