A group of more than one hundred gathered outside Greeneville High School Wednesday night at a prayer vigil for 16-year-old Teagan Welch.

A parent of a fellow band member told WVLT News that the band director at the school announced to fellow students that Welch died Thursday.

She was shot during what police are calling a custodial exchange Monday, outside a Pilot gas station in White Pine.

Welch was an organ donor and the parent said she saved eight lives.
