The Ohio senior’s cap features a QR code that leads to a website she created, listing 49 victims of shootings at 10 high schools in the last 20 years.
By Katie Mettler Katie Mettler Reporter covering breaking news and features Email Bio Follow May 10 at 8:24 PM High school graduation was just weeks away and Gina Warren was discussing commencement cap crafting with friends.
And now, weeks away from her commencement, she was reminded that those same students wouldn’t get to graduate, either.By Wednesday evening, her cap was complete. On Thursday night, she posted it on Twitter. “I decorated my graduation cap,” she typed, then hit send on a video. She had no idea hundreds of thousands of people were about to see.
— Amelia Combs May 10, 2019 Teays Valley High School is a midsize school in a small, conservative town. What Warren did, Combs said, is brave. “I didn’t grow up that way. I don’t think we ever had a lockdown drill,” said Combs, who was a junior in high school when gunmen attacked Columbine High School. “It’s a whole different world.”
Another woman wrote that she is a relative of Casey Jordan Marquez, a student on Warren’s list from Aztec, N.M., who was killed at school in 2017. “We miss her every. single. second. of. every. single. day. since she was gunned down. Thank you for this. From the bottom of my [heart],” the woman wrote. “You are an angel.”
It was tough, Warren said, to research every high school shooting since Columbine, to learn the victims’ names and read the news articles about the way they died.
