At the assembly students heard Willcox Police Chief Jake Weaver describe the exact sequence of events of the shooting.

A team of grief counselors arrived at the school to meet with students or faculty members.

School administrators say they will be sitting down with Willcox police to discuss the shooting and figure out which responses work best.

Tineo was booked into Cochise County Jail on suspicion of attempted murder. A judge set a $2 million bail for Tineo last Friday.
