Rodriguez will remain on life support for the next three days as her family plans to meet organ donors that can be matched with her organs. The mother of a five-month-old baby was shot by a school resource officer during an altercation with a 15-year-old girl outside of Millikan High School but she was not a student at the school. After the fight, Rodriguez jumped into a vehicle and was shot by the resource officer as the vehicle tried to leave the scene.
