Vergara, a freshman, was remembered as an “avid reader” who loved art, singing, and playing the keyboard in the family worship band.

The shoot*r, 15-year-old Natalie Rupnow, also known as “Samantha,” opened fire in a study hall, killing Vergara and West before injuring six others.

Authorities are still investigating the motive.
