As a former exchange student I'm saddened to hear that an exchange student from my organization was in fact one of the children killed this week in the Texas school shooting. She was supposed to return home to her family in a month after what was supposed to be a year of wonderful cultural experiences.

I certainly wouldn't have chosen it as a location, but students don't always get to chose where they end up. Further students often chose countries like Canada, the UK or the United States to learn English more than have a cultural exchange.
She had one month left till she went home, and now she will never go home.
In Texas it is more like culture shock, I know because I have lived it for 35 years.
