Families and Keller ISD officials are spreading mental health awareness after two teens completed suicide just days apart.
In a three-day span, two Keller ISD students died by fatal gunshot wounds, according to Tarrant County Medical Examiner's RecordsA Fort Worth father is calling for more mental health resources for teens after his son died by suicide last week.
“We were just sitting here Monday night discussing what our plans were, you know,” Cooper said. “He was telling me about what he was wearing, and what he wanted to do.” Following these deaths, the Keller ISD school board opened their Thursday meeting with a moment of silence for the students. Some parents in attendance called for schools to do more to address student mental health.
“There needs to be more done,” Scottie Cooper said. “Because it’s getting out of control, it’s getting out of hand.”
