Claire Davis, a 17-year-old Colorado student shot in the head earlier this month by a gunman at her high school, died on Saturday at a hospital with her family at her side, the facility said in a statement. "Despite the best efforts of our physicians and nursing staff, and Claire's fighting spirit, her injuries were too severe and the most advanced medical treatments could not prevent this tragic loss of life," Littleton Adventist Hospital posted on the facility's official Facebook page. Davis was the only person wounded by gunfire when Karl Pierson, an 18-year-old senior at Arapahoe High School in suburban Denver, entered the school on December 13 and opened fire with a shotgun, police said. "The Davis family would like to thank everyone who have sent their best wishes and prayers, and are grateful for the kindness and support of the community," the hospital statement said.
