http://www.privateofficer.com/ Early Saturday morning, neighbors did not hear gunshots. Instead, Julie Clayton heard screams from the two girls next door.
“It just was shocking and [we] didn’t know what to do except just love on the girls as much as we could,” said Clayton.
12-year-old Paige and 7-year-old Jordan were in the kitchen with their parents. Soon, they were yelling over the fence for help.
“The older daughter was already on the phone with 911 and she told me ‘Ms. Julie, my daddy just shot my mommy and shot himself’,” said Clayton.
Larry Rimmer, 40, shot and killed his 37-year-old wife, Heather. Larry had a lawn maintenance service. Mrs. Rimmer was a beloved third grade teacher at South McKleen Elementary School.
“We’ve been neighbors for over five years and our girls played with their girls many a days, so it’s been tough,” said Clayton.
“Kids love her. They always have. She even taught my daughter,” said School Superintendant Harold Maready. “She wanted to make sure all of her kids learned, so she would make games, she would decorate her room. The environment in her room was just wonderful.”
The loss will be especially difficult for the school because both of the daugthers, Jordan and Paige, also attend South McKeel.
“It’s going to be devastating Monday. This is the second year that we’ve lost a teacher at the beginning of the year,” said Maready.
Last year, the band teacher died from an overdose. Counselors will be at the school on Monday to help both staff and students cope with the tragic loss. Meanwhile, neighbors say that the two girls are staying with their grandmother.
