The student, whose name has not yet been released by the McLean County Coroner’s office, was in 8th grade, he said.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the student’s family and loved ones during this difficult time.

Bloomington police have released little information except to say that four people were found in a house in the 900 block of Lee Street which is near Bent Elementary School.
Sunday night, Bryce Janssen, a police spokesman, said “four people were pronounced deceased at the scene by the McLean County Coroner’s Office. Identification of the deceased will not be released until the next of kin are notified.”
On Monday morning, he reiterated the deaths were an “isolated” incident and there is no threat to the public.
However, he declined to release more information about the manner of death, how people learned of the deaths and who was killed. He said such information could come later after it is released by the McLean County Coroner’s Office.
