Twenty-one-year-old Riley Howell was one of two students killed on Tuesday when a shooter opened fire with a handgun inside a classroom full of nearly 50 students. Four other students were injured. “The North Carolina National Guard will conduct military funeral honors today for cadet Howell. This action is approved by the adjutant general under state orders,” said Wells Greeley of Wells Funeral Homes in Waynesville, North Carolina.
An obituary posted on the funeral home’s website described Howell as adventurous, passionate about life and all living things. He loved “anything Star Wars” and would have lightsaber fights in the yard with his younger brother Teddy.
