Amish Girl Shot in School Improves
Posted on: Wednesday, 4 October 2006, 18:00 CDT
A 12-year-old girl shot at an Amish school in Pennsylvania has been upgraded from critical to serious condition, hospital officials said Wednesday.
An 8-year-old girl with neck and arm injuries and a 10-year-old girl with a head injury remained in critical condition at the same Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, officials said.
Two other girls wounded in the Nickel Mines, Pa., shootings Monday were being treated at another hospital, which was no longer releasing updates on their conditions, The Pittsburgh Post-Dispatch reported. A report Tuesday listed one of them in critical condition and one in serious condition.
Five other girls died when Charles Carl Roberts IV entered the school, lined up 10 girls after letting boys and adults leave, and shot them execution-style.
Funerals were to begin at family homes Thursday.
Authorities said Roberts wrote four suicide notes, with one saying he was filled with so much hate and unimaginable emptiness.
