Katheryn brought a"bright light to our halls each day," her school said. A juvenile has been arrested for the murder of a 10-year-old girl in Alabama, authorities said.
The little girl, identified as Katheryn Bigbee, was found dead inside a home on Friday night, Piedmont police said.

Piedmont Elementary School officials called Katheryn a "sweet little girl who brought smiles, kindness, and a bright light to our halls each day.
" "Katheryn had a joyful, spunky personality that made her truly special. She was an enthusiastic reader and will be remembered for the happiness she shared so freely," school officials said in a statement.
"We ask that you keep her family, friends, and our school community in your thoughts and prayers. Grief counselors will be available at school to support our students and staff.
