A beloved mother-of-four art teacher and an exchange student who had moved from Pakistan for a better education are among the 10 people killed when a crazed gunman stormed a Texas school on Friday.

Substitute teacher Ann Perkins, 64, art teacher Cynthia Tisdale and students Sabika Sheikh, Chris Stone, 17, Kim Vaughan, Angelique Ramirez, Aaron Kyle McLeod, Christian Garcia and Shana Fisher have been confirmed dead.

Dimitrios Pagourtzis, a 17-year-old high school junior, allegedly burst into an art classroom at his school yelling ‘Surprise!’ while brandishing his father’s shotgun and pistol, before opening fire and gunning down students and teachers.

According to a charging document, Pagourtzis picked his victims, choosing not to shoot students he liked so he could have his story told.

Perkins’ daughter Ashley pleaded for information about her mother’s whereabouts on Friday before the tragic news of her death was confirmed. She was a grandmother and was described by one of her students as ‘wonderful’ and ‘amazing’.

A gymnastics club which her daughter once attended paid tribute to Perkins, writing: ‘It is with an extremely heavy heart that we are asking you to please keep TNT Alumni, Ashley, and her dad, Steve, in your prayers.

‘Ashley’s mom, Ms. Ann, has passed away as a result of today’s tragic events. She was an amazing mom and an adored substitute who was loved by all.’

A friend wrote on Twitter: ‘Ann Perkins was a beloved teacher, family friend, & woman. She enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren, & students.

‘She lived an impeccable life filled with traveling, love, family, & a bit of champagne. Rest easy our beautiful nurturing angel. I love you.’

She was affectionately referred to as ‘Grandma Perkins’.

A student named Carsen wrote: ‘RIP to the wonderful and lovely Mrs. Ann Perkins. I love you so much and you were by far one of my favorite teachers. Fly high angel. You are and will always be amazing.’

Art teacher Cynthia Tisdale was shot dead, her brother-in-law confirmed on Facebook.

‘Cynthia Tisdale went to work today at the Santa Fe High School as she had done many times before,’ he wrote. ‘She was teaching the art class today and a little after 8 AM a demon-possessed Son of Belial enters the room and starts shooting… killing 8 students and 2 teachers… one being my sister-in-law Cynthia, who was a member of Anchor Bible Baptist Church in Pharr, TX.

‘Her husband Reverend William Recie Tisdale is in bad health with a terminal lung disease. They have 4 children Recie Jr, Joseph, Autumn and Shannon. Your prayers are appreciated and requested for all of the family.’
