Episcopal School offers counseling as details of shooter's life emerge

In the wake of the March 6 murder-suicide at Episcopal School of Jacksonville, Florida, officials have opened the campus to students, faculty and staff seeking counseling and comfort.

A public memorial service for slain Head of School Dale Regan is planned at 11 a.m. March 9 in the school's Campion Courtyard between Parks and Lastinger Halls, two classroom buildings whose construction she oversaw two years ago. There will be a public viewing at a local funeral home the evening prior.

Regan, 63, died hours after she had been involved in firing Shane Schumerth, 28, a Spanish teacher at the school. He returned to campus with an AK-47 in a guitar case, went to her office and shot Regan several times before killing himself, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's office.
