17-Year-Old Virginia Girl Killed In Apparent Murder-Suicide 2 Days Before Her Birthday
A 17-year-old Virginia girl was killed in an apparent murder-suicide by her ex-boyfriend two days before her 18th birthday, according to reports.
The Blacksburg Police Department said in a press release that two high school students were found dead in a parking garage Tuesday, but did not identify the teenagers.
The mother of one of the students identified one of the teens as their daughter, Serenity Hawley.
She told the outlet that Serenity was shot in the chest by her ex-boyfriend, who then fatally shot himself. Her parents also said Serenity died from a murder-suicide.
Police did not confirm if the deaths were the result of a murder-suicide, but did say there was no ongoing threat to the community.
Serenity had recently been accepted into Virginia Tech. Her mother, Heather Waldron said Serenity’s school had issued a no-contact order between the two teens, and that there had been an incident between the two about a month before.
