Crisis counselors were at West Hills High School in Santee Monday to help classmates of 14-year-old Aaliyah Johnson cope with her death. Police discovered Aaliyah's body, along with the body of her father, 56-year-old Reuben Johnson, at their San Carlos home last weekend.

Regina Johnson is accused of shooting the two to death, as early as last Wednesday.

Adding to their stress, Regina was laid off from her job as an administrator at a local financial services company.
