Cynthia Tisdale was a substitute teacher at Santa Fe High School, her family told CNN. Her niece, Leia Olinde, said the family was notified of her death Friday night.
Tisdale’s brother-in-law, John Tisdale, said in a Facebook post Friday night that she was a member of the Anchor Bible Baptist Church in Pharr, Texas.
John Tisdale also said in his post that his sister-in-law’s husband, William Recie Tisdale, is «in bad health with a terminal lung disease.» The couple has four children.
Sabika Sheikh
The Embassy of Pakistan in Washington confirmed on Facebook that Sabika Sheikh, an exchange student, was one of the 10 people killed in Friday’s shooting.
«Ms. Sheikh was in Texas as part of the Youth Exchange & Study (YES) Programme,» the embassy said in a statement to CNN. «Our thoughts and prayers are with Sabika’s family and friends. Ambassador Aizaz Chaudhry spoke to the father of Sabika Sheikh expressing heartfelt condolences over the tragic death of his daughter.»

There is no set definition for the term «mass shooting.» This chart includes shootings in which three or more people were killed. While most of the shootings listed here occurred since 2000, Columbine is included because of its notoriety; the 1986 shooting at the post office in Edmond, Okla., is included because it is the origin of the grim term «going postal.»
