Hundreds of parents, students and teachers turned out to Danvers High School for a vigil Wednesday night in memory of Colleen Ritzer.
The math teacher was killed, prosecutors say, by one of her students.
The vigil itself was closed to press, but attendees wore Danvers High School athletic gear and sports uniforms. Some were crying.
On social media, students posted fond memories of their teacher.
