Grimes County Sheriff's Office Investigator John Wren said Navasota High School junior Kallie Neutzler, who died following a single gunshot wound to the abdominal area this morning, may have taken her own life.

"At the moment, it appears to be a suicide. The official cause of death will depend on results from the autopsy," said Investigator Wren, who is leading the investigation, along with Lt. Blake Jarvis.

Sheriff Don Sowell said Navasota police notified the Sheriff's Office of a shooting at the 8002 Chickasaw residence at 6:24 a.m., after family members discovered the 16-year-old Rattler cheerleader in a bedroom.

Ten minutes later, St. Joseph EMS arrived and began treating the victim before transporting Neutzler to the College Station Medical Center. Neutzler succumbed to her injuries at 7:16 a.m. Her body has been sent to Southwest Forensic Center in Austin for an autopsy.

NISD Communications Coordinator Scott Powers said no other details are being released at this time, as the student was a minor.

This is the second death the students have been hit by in the past 6 months, as they lost fellow student and senior Emmanuel Sanchez to a firearm that was reportedly "dry fired" and pointed at the victim's chest in April.

Counselors from all NISD campuses are at the high school assisting students with the loss.

"We have also reached out to the Region VI Education Center for assistance with counseling for the next day or two," said Powers.

Very sad. If she took her own life: why? and why would you do such an act by sshooting yourself in the abdomine?

WOW! Is this something that is really appropriate to be talked about on a HS sports message board?

Honestly, I should have made my statements a little clearer.  I am not really wanting answers to the questions I posted just saying this brings those questions to mind.
