First off calm down, your reaction is normal.
second let me level with you. Death is never easy whether you really know the person or not. Life is delicate and its okay to be sad and feel,
Third It's okay to question mortality and to get upset over it. there is no wrong way to act. and just because you didn't know them personally doesn't me that you aren't affected, or you can't reach out to others who are hurt.
My best friend died when we was ten, and at that time I didn't understand what I was feeling. It took me years to understand,
You have the ability to help those in need, and to be empathetic. Its a hard time for everyone one, including you, but maybe going to the funeral and helping others will get you though this tough time.

Death is a part of life. It happens to everyone sometime. you just don't know when.
Occasionally there has been kids that have died that went to my high school in car accidents. It is a hard thing to do with, there are all sorts of emotions that do go through your head.
I had a friend in High School commit suicide. That was rough. It stead of just 2 kids dying in a car accident, here is someone who is a straight A student that took his own life, and you begin to wonder what could you have done. did you know something was off with him, could you have said something to someone. That was a hard thing to go through.
I live like 2 miles away from Columbine High school. I had friends that went there, and I was in that school alot growing up and during my time in High School. So that was and still is local/community news for me. I've seen what can happen on a large scale event like to a community.
Give it time, mourn, get it out of your system. You will get over it. it is a growing experience for everyone.
What skoolie said "It's okay to question mortality" and whether you realize it or not, this sort of things brings to question your own mortality. As teens we often see ourselves as "imortal", "that could never happen to me" and then something like this hits close to home, and we realize that it can happen to us, "what if that had been me" and it is normal to have strong emotions. Utilize the school counselor to help you get through this,

This is definately a traumatic event in your life, you should see someone soon and ask them about post traumatic stress syndrome. People often associate this disorder only with war, or some form of abuse, but the spectrum is much larger. Please seek out a counselor, or Dr. and discuss this with them. This can lead to several other problems. Good luck.
