LITTLETON air jordan 6 unc for sale , CO, Dec. 22 (Xinhua) -- A 17-year-old high school girl is dead, ending an eight-day fight for her life after sustaining a shotgun blast to the face by a disgruntled fellow student last week in a suburban Denver high school.
Littleton Adventist Hospital said injuries to Claire Davis "" were too severe"" and listed her death at 4:29 p.m. local time Saturday (2329 GMT). ""The most advanced medical treatments could not prevent this tragic loss of life,"" the hospital's Facebook page posted.
On Sunday, hundreds of distraught students and parents stopped by a homemade shrine to Davis at Arapahoe High School south of Denver to pay their last respects to the slain junior, who was described as a sweet girl who loved horses and the English boy band One Direction.
Her family issued a statement Saturday night: ""Although we have lost our precious daughter, we will always be grateful for the indelible journey she took us on over the last 17 years - we were truly blessed to be Claire's parents. The grace air jordan 6 unc shoes , laughter and light she brought to this world will not be extinguished by her death; to the contrary, it will only get stronger.""
Davis' life was ended by Karl Pierson, 18, who on Dec. 13 burst into the 2,229-student high school armed with a 12-gauge shotgun, ammunition strapped to his body, Molotov cocktails and a machete air jordan 6 unc black , police said.
In an 80-second rampage, Pierson shot Davis, who was ""huddled near a door,"" at point blank range, then set off an incendiary device before running to the school's library, according to police, who said Pierson's ""revenge"" target was the librarian and debate team coach Tracy Murphy who had disciplined him in September.
Although Davis appeared to be a random target air jordan 6 unc pre order , Pierson planned more carnage at the school, indicated by five separate letters and numbers written on his arm with a black marker revealing his plan of attacking five classrooms in the school, according to Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson.
After firing three more rounds inside the library at the fleeing coach, Pierson killed himself with a blast to the head as the school's armed security officer closed in to stop him.
Police arrived on the scene 14 minutes after the attack began and vacated students en masse in an orderly, room-by-room procedure.
Pierson purchased the shotgun legally the week before the attack and bought 125 shells the day of the shooting, Robinson said, crediting prompt air jordan 6 unc 2017 , defensive actions by school officials and teachers for saving lives.
Arapahoe teachers had locked doors to their classrooms, turned off lights and clustered students against concrete walls and away from doors and windows, as gunshots boomed in the school.
Local schools have adopted emergency procedures for such attacks after the notorious 1999 Columbine High School massacre, 10 miles (16 kilometers) away, where Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 12 students and one teacher in a shooting rampage before killing themselves.
""Last week was truly a paradox in that we lost our daughter, yet we witnessed the wonderful love that exists in the world through the tremendous outpouring of support we received,"" the Davis family said.
Pierson's parents issued a statement last week.
""We cannot begin to understand why Karl did what he did air jordan 6 unc ,"" Barbara and Mark Pierson said. They also offered prayers ""for the entire Arapahoe High School community, as we know your lives are forever changed by this horrific event.""

DALLAS, Nov. 24 (Xinhua) -- ""Fifty years passed. But it doesn't seem like 50 years ago at all. For me it's forever 1963. Everything is so vivid. It is as though it was yesterday,"" 79-year-old Dallas resident Pierce Allman told Xinhua.
On Nov. 22, 1963, Allman jordan 6s unc , then a local radio reporter, witnessed the assassination of President John F. Kennedy at Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas. He also encountered Lee Harvey Oswald, the alleged assassin.
At around 12: 20 p.m. that day, Allman, though not assigned to the Kennedy story, decided to walk the four blocks from his office to the plaza.
""I had admired him tremendously. I thought he was a gifted politician,"" he said. ""The President and the First Lady in the United States are the closest things to royalty that we have.
""When they are extraordinarily attractive and when they have so much television exposure and so much publicity jordan 6 retro unc , it's just sort of natural that if you haven't seen them in person, you want to go over and see them.""
""About two blocks into it, I had been looking up at the rooftops of the buildings and looking up at the open windows and I didn't see any security,"" he recalled. ""I was wondering how they secured all that. I turned to my colleague and said, 'If there is going to be anything like an assassination attempt, it would probably be here'.""
Asked if that was an afterthought given the following events, the brooding man dismissed the idea and iterated: ""I said the words. I don't know why I said the words. But I did say the words.""
Finally they arrived.
""The limo came to my right. I was probably 20 feet (about six meters) from them the closest. I was just struck by Jackie (Jacqueline Kennedy) who was closest to me on the left-hand side of the car and the president was on the other side. She had this marvelous smile and little wave. Actually, I hallowed something like 'Welcome to Dallas, Mr. President'.""
But shortly after the limo turned onto the Elm Street, the first gunshot rang out. ""That was the sound you would never forget,"" said Allman, grown somber by the memory.
