GEORGETOWN, Pa. (AP) - The number of dead from Monday's Amish schoolhouse shooting could soon rise by one more.
A county coroner and a doctor who serves Amish children says it appears that one of the survivors is being taken off life-support and taken home to die.
Meantime, the other survivors remain hospitalized and continue to fight their injuries.
In Monday's attack, the gunmen sent the adults and boys out and bound the ten remaining girls at the blackboard. He was in the school for about an hour before he shot his hostages and turned the gun on himself as police closed in.

In Jesus' name we pray for this brave little girl. We pray even for a miracle, Lord! Give this family strength for this day and hope for tomorrow. Strongly make Your presence known to them as Your Plan continues to unfold. In Your precious name, Amen.
Darn...
Amen.
God be with the Amish in their time of grief. I am sure He will cradle her close.
Ahhh, man, that is so sad. I just can't imagine being in their shoes.
"In Jesus' name we pray for this brave little girl. We pray even for a miracle, Lord! Give this family strength for this day and hope for tomorrow. Strongly make Your presence known to them as Your Plan continues to unfold. In Your precious name, Amen."
Amen.
Prayer bump!
Around these parts, the Amish are truly salt of the earth folks. We're glad to have them in the community (have three schools in this area, as several Amish and Mennonite have bought land and built houses in the last 10 years).
The name of the little girl we are praying for (as per another news source) is Rosanna King.
Thanks.
....and the Phelps woman last night on H&C and today on M. Gallagher said, "Those little girls deserved to die".
Prayers are on the way.
Amen
Prayers for Rosanna, the other injured, the families, the community, and the family of the gunman.
Also prayers for our country, which seems to be going fast down the drain.
Prayers offered for Rosanna, and her family, and friends.
Rosanna..a beautiful name. Prayers for this little girl and her family.
The father of several survivors of the Amish school killings meanwhile told how girls questioned the gunman as to why he was carrying out the attack before he opened fire.
Leroy Zook told the New York Times: "And he told them why: He's angry at God, he's just bitter. He told them that they're supposed to pray for him that he wouldn't do this."
He added that the oldest girl of the 10 detained and bound by the gunman had pleaded: "Shoot me, and leave the others alone."
As the father of a little girl of the same age, this is very, very sad. Prayers for the family.
