AMNA NAWAZ: Before we
go tonight, we remember
the victims of the
school shooting in Santa

Fe, Texas, in which
10 people were killed,
and 13 others injured.

They were sons and
daughters, siblings, parents,
spouses and grandparents
and, of course, students

 

and teachers.

These are the 10 people who
died in Friday's shooting and
what friends and family have

said about them.

Jared Black turned 17 just
two days before the shooting.

His family planned to have
a poolside birthday party
for him this past weekend.

His half-brother, Nick Black,
said: "My brother loved to play
Minecraft on Xbox, play Pokemon

 

GO on his cell phone,
and loved art."

Jared was in the art room
when the shooting started.

Sixteen-year-old Shana Fisher
also recently had a birthday.

She, too, was in the art room
at the time of the attack.

A childhood friend said -- quote
-- "She stood up to bullies
for me when we were little."

 

Christian Riley Garcia, 15 years
old, had - - quote -- "grown
up in the church," a Texas

 

pastor who baptized
him wrote on Facebook.

Garcia was waiting for
his new home to be built
when he was killed.

Fifteen-year-old Aaron Kyle
McLeod had a reputation
for finding humor even
in dark situations

 

- - quote -- "He was never one
to be a sad or down person.

He always had to joke or
laugh about things," a
close friend said about him.

Glenda Ann Perkins was a
beloved substitute teacher
at Santa Fe High School.

Her relatives said she
would have wanted faculty
and students -- quote
-- "to remember to keep

their hearts open, to discuss
their feelings with family
members, friends, and counselors

 

in order to successfully
conquer this tragedy."

Sabika Sheikh was a 17-year-old
exchange student from Pakistan
who was planning to return home

 

within weeks.

Her father, Abdul Aziz Sheikh,
said she wanted to be a diplomat
to represent her country.

 

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo
said she was helping to build
ties between the U.S. and

Pakistan.

Angelique Ramirez, 15 years
old, was a member of the Santa
Fe Church's youth ministry and

 

is remembered by a pastor as
-- quote -- "a sweet young
lady with her own style."

 

Christopher Stone, 17, was
one of several students who
blocked a classroom door to try

 

to stop the attack.

But he was struck by
gunfire when the gunman
shot through the door.

His father said -- quote --
"He was always there if someone
needed someone to listen

or some cheering up."

Cynthia Tisdale, 63, was a
substitute teacher at Santa Fe
High School and a grandmother

 

of eight.

A family member said -- quote
-- "Words don't explain her
lust for life and the joy she

got from helping people."

Kim Vaughan was also in art
class on Friday when her
school came under attack.

Her mother, Rhonda Hart,
posted on Facebook saying --
quote -- "We need gun control.

 

We need to protect our kids."
