A special Mass was held Tuesday night in Franklin County, Missouri for one of the three students killed in Monday's school shooting in Nashville.

The Mass was at St. Francis Borgia Catholic Church in Washington, Missouri -- that's where the grandparents of 9-year-old Eveyln Dieckhaus attend.

A friend of the Dieckhaus family confirmed to the Washington Missourian newspaper that Evelyn was among the victims.

The friend called the shooting a "senseless tragic event" and told the Missourian newspaper that the country "needed to get its arms around this."
