On October 18, 2010, 16-year-old Anne Adair Thoring White was shot and killed in the front yard of her home at the Glenn Villa Trailer Park in Williston, North Dakota.

Gabriel, a freshman at Williston State College, used a semi-automatic pistol in the attack and then turned the weapon on himself. Both teenagers were taken to hospitals; Anne was pronounced dead at Mercy Medical Center in Williston. Gabriel was transported to Trinity Hospital in Minot and later died of his self-inflicted wound. Law enforcement described the event as a murder-suicide and did not seek anyone else in connection with the shooting.

Anne’s death prompted the local school district to create a crisis intervention team to support students. If anyone knew Anne, Gabriel, or witnessed what happened that afternoon, please share information that might help complete the picture of those final hours.
