The Lancaster Country Day School community is âperplexedâ and âdeeply saddenedâ after one of its students allegedly killed her sister at their familyâs Manheim Township home Monday.
âEveryone is wholly, utterly surprised by this,â head of school Steven Lisk told LNP | LancasterOnline Tuesday.
Claire Elaina Miller, a 14-year-old ninth-grader at the 550-student private school, called 911 after midnight Monday and told police she stabbed her sister, 19-year-old Helen Miller, who died despite life-saving measures by emergency responders.
Lisk described the last 36 hours as âextraordinaryâ as the school uses this time to bring students, faculty, staff and parents together and learn to cope with what Lisk called a âhuman tragedy.â
