CLAY A former high school teacher of Destiny Washington offered condolences to the family Friday after hearing of the shooting death of the 20-year-old nursing student.
Melanie Gaines taught Washington at Clay-Chalkville High School. She had her for AP English when she was in 11th grade and had her in the National Honors Society in 11th and 12th grade. When Gaines opened Facebook Friday morning and saw the story of her passing, she said she couldn’t believe what she was reading.
“It’s such a tragedy for her family,” Gaines said. “As a teacher, your students are always your kids, no matter how many years pass. It’s always hard.”
