Lisa Romero, a secretary at Miyamura High School in Gallup, N.M., was also killed, as was Rachael Parker, a records technician with the Manhattan Beach Police Department in California.

“She was close to a lot of people,” Capt. Tim Hageman told The News.

“She would laugh, and you knew it was Rachael laughing, even if you couldn’t see her.”

Also killed was special education teacher Sandy Casey, according to the Manhattan Beach Unified School District in Southern California.

“She’s absolutely loved by students and colleagues alike and will be remembered for her sense of humor, her passion for her work, her devotion to her students, her commitment to continue her own learning and taking on whatever new projects came her way,” district superintendent Mike Matthews said in a statement obtained by Los Angeles station KABC.
