The couple’s three kids, ages 15, 13, and 11, were home at the time of the shooting, but police say they were not hurt.

A letter sent to parents late Wednesday night said that the school district sent a “crisis team” to the school where Arlene O’Neill had taught to meet with the sad students, staff, and teachers.

The letter said that counselors from other school districts in the county had sent help.

On Thursday, the district board of education sent a letter to the community in which it said that its members were devastated by “the most terrible tragedy.”

The letter said, “Mrs. O’Neill was not only a great teacher, but also a beloved member of our community who made a difference in the lives of many students and coworkers.”

“We will all miss Arlene a lot and have a hard time grieving her death for a long time.”

Thursday night, at Annunciation Church in Yonkers, there was going to be a private mass.

Arlene O’Neill was a determined and hardworking teacher for over 25 years in the Eastchester School District, a fearless mother, a thoughtful sister, and a kind friend, according to a GoFundMe page set up in her honor.

A tribute to Arlene said, “She has spent countless hours molding the minds of her students while also raising her three amazing boys, who were her pride and joy.”

“Arlene showed strength, kindness, and toughness.” Never putting herself first, she gave her all to her school and her family.

The GoFundMe page said that any money raised would go toward the O’Neill boys’ schooling and “their talents in both music and sports that Arlene worked so hard to encourage and support.”
