A beloved middle school teacher was discovered shot at her Texas home alongside her husband in what police are calling a murder-suicide carried out by the husband.
The shooting took place on Sunday in the family’s Josephine, Texas home, just 40 miles outside of Dallas.
Police confirmed 40-year old Lacie Moore was killed by her husband Brian Moore. The case is still under investigation at this current time.
The couple are leaving behind their four children.
A GoFundMe campaign to help pay funeral costs describes Lacie as a “ray of sunshine.”
“Lacie was a great mother, friend, teacher, daughter, just a great human,” the fundraiser description reads. “To know her, was to love her. She was always a light to every child she interacted with.”
Lacie taught English at Davis Intermediate School and was widely loved by staff and students.
The Wylie Independent School District confirmed the beloved teacher’s death in a statement, “Our Wylie ISD family is devastated by the passing of Lacie Moore, Davis Intermediate teacher. Mrs. Moore positively impacted the lives of so many students, and we are heartbroken by the loss of this incredible teacher and even better person. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mrs. Moore’s family during this tremendously difficult time.”
Sarah Kramer praised her late friend for her exceptional teaching skills.
“She had a gift,” Kramer said. “She was so gifted, and I don’t know if I will ever be able to process what a huge tragedy this is. This world is a lot darker without her.”
