"Ms. Bobo was such a special part of our community. She brought kindness, warmth, joy, laughter, creativity, and deep care into everything she did. Whether it was supporting a student, connecting with a family, hosting a funeral for a fictional character, or collaborating with a colleague, she did so with intention and heart. She was an incredible educator and an even more incredible human being who truly valued relationships and community."
"Police said that the shooting was motivated by an argument among people inside the lounge, but that none of the victims were believed to be the intended targets. The 25-year-old man survived for several hours, but succumbed to his injuries at a hospital around 11:30 a.m. Saturday. Bobo was declared dead inside the bar. The injured were identified as three women and two men in their 20s and 30s, authorities said."
