WILMINGTON, Del. (WPVI) -- A 16-year-old student has died after she was assaulted by several other students inside a high school bathroom in Wilmington, Delaware.

It happened at the Howard High School of Technology in the 400 block of East 12th Street on Thursday morning.

At a vigil Thursday night, friends and classmates identified the girl as Amy Joyner, a sophomore. Police are awaiting the results of an autopsy to determine her exact cause of death.

No charges have been announced. Two girls and several witnesses are at the Wilmington Police Department being interviewed by detectives.

Mayor Dennis Williams had to take a moment to compose himself while speaking at a news conference, held a short time after learning the student had passed away.

"I'm so upset that the young lady lost her life today. Things like this shouldn't happen. My heart bleeds for the family, the kids that go to this school, administrators, and our city," he said.

“victim looked like a mix of black and, I don’t know, Hispanic/white.”

Like most “blacks”

Two female ferals fighting over a male feral, and the troop of one of the female ferals jumped the other. DOA after airlift to hospital.

I'm not sure if you were being serious or not, but to me it's actually categorically the same - borne of a lack of appreciation of the sanctity of life. I read an article the other day about how much money middle aged people were spending to buy the right clothes, have the right cosmetic surgery, and get into ‘shape’ so that they could be ‘cool’ at the Coachella rock festival. We've become so incredibly shallow, and the biggest manifestation of that in my view is that we've failed our children. When you don't teach them about love, and honesty, and empathy, and the value of life, what do you expect? When you let our popular culture inundate them with filth and don't teach them the value of innocence, what do you expect?

Perps were black and got away with everything short of murder before, I will bet. 0baama said teachers are racist for punishing blacks more often than whites. Now we have dead people.

A very good short explanation for a variety of problems for which everyone seems to be seeking a separate answer. But I am afraid there is no solution...just not enough people of good will or apparently smart enough to understand the obvious.

No, because there was not a high body count as there has been in school shootings.

Could you possibly take the time to explain WHY it isn’t as tragic or disgusting as a school shooting? This young lady is just as dead as any shooting victim. Was her life less valuable in some way? I’m confused...

Of course, you don’t have to explain anything you don’t want to, but you’ve raised a few questions.

I'm not sure if you were being serious or not, but to me it's actually categorically different - middle aged white people at the Coachella music festival are not responsible for the black-on-black gang murder of this teenager. And I'm absolutely sick of people cloaking themselves in morality by invoking collective racism under the guise of humanitarianism. You want to cry a river, then have the courage to say "I" instead of "we." Better yet, just take your white guilt racist collectivism CRAP back to DU.

Context matters. While I’m quite sure you were serious, how is a young girl being murdered by a gang “ categorically different” to a victim murdered in a school shooting?

I suspect there's more to it than just that.

Nowadays we have to ask:

Was she really genetically a girl?

Was she really assaulted by genetically actual girls?

Feral blacks, attacking conservative black or white?

Not that her life was less valuable than any other person, but thankfully there was only one death in this incident while we have seen school shootings with numerous deaths.
