    How the Las Vegas shooting unfolded

Lisa Romero-Muniz, a 48-year-old grandmother and Gallup, New Mexico, high school counselor, was among those killed in a mass shooting Sunday in Las Vegas, officials confirmed Monday.

Romero-Muniz worked at the Hiroshi Miyamura High School. Her Facebook page shows several pictures of her with her children and four young grandchildren.

“She was not only an employee of our school district, but was an incredible loving and sincere friend, mentor and advocate for students in many of our schools,” district Superintendent Mike Hyatt said in a news release Monday.

“As a colleague, she was outgoing, kind and considerate of all those she worked with and we will miss all of these great attributes she shared with students, staff and parents in our community,” Hyatt wrote.

At a televised news conference, Hyatt noted that Romero-Muniz had worked for the district since 2003 at the elementary, middle-school and high-school levels.

Most recently, she had been a “discipline secretary” who “had a lot of interaction with students.” Many students posted on social media that “she was there for them,” he said.

Hyatt said the school district had sent a crisis response team into the schools to help faculty and students deal with the loss.

A memorial was being planned at the high school Monday night.
