* * *

Summary of article

During an accident, trainee gamekeeper Calum Murray accidentally shot Sophie Taylor. Afterwards he shot himself. This week a special school assembly is being held for the two teenagers, to give classmates of Sophie a chance to come together and reflect. The teenagers will also be offered counseling, they can do this one-to-one or in groups. Furthermore, the police don’t think there is anyone else involved with the tragedy.

My opinion

I think it's wonderful that the students are given the opportunity to reflect on the tragedy together and that they can close this chapter together. The situation of the tragedy is a bit strange to me, why would you kill yourself after accidentally killing someone else? I wonder why the police is not going to investigate any further.
