Teen killed at Connecticut school; classmate arrested
(CNN) -- The 16-year-old girl killed by a classmate at a Milford, Connecticut, high school was "a bright light full of hopes and dreams with her future at her fingertips" said her cousin Edward Kovack in a statement on behalf of the family Friday afternoon.
Maren Sanchez, a junior, was attacked in a hallway at Jonathan Law High School around 7 a.m. Friday. School staff members and emergency technicians attempted "life-saving measures," according to Milford Police Chief Keith Mello, but Sanchez was pronounced dead at Bridgeport Hospital at 7:43 a.m.
Speaking at a press conference Friday, the police chief didn't provide a motive but said investigators are looking into rumors a boy was angry because Sanchez had declined to go to the prom with him. The prom, scheduled for Friday night, has been postponed

As tragic as it is, I'm surprised it made national news on CNN.
