Colorodo Girl Slain At School Sent One Last Text Message

The teenager killed in the school hostage standoff sent a text message to her dad before she died, reports TheKSBWChannel.

" John Keyes was standing with dozens of other anxious parents, wondering about his daughter's fate when he asked a reporter from the Flume newspaper to help him communicate with his daughter through the cell phones he had just bought for her and her twin brother for their 16th birthdays.

He asked "How are U?" and sent it to the Emily's cell phone.

"R U O.K.?" his text message asked.

Emily messaged back: "I Love U guys.".

Less than two hours later, Emily Keyes was fatally shot by the gunman, who killed himself as a SWAT team stormed in."
