“Friday morning, we had to call the rescue squad to Liberty Middle School,” said Annette Eyman, a Papillion La Vista spokeswoman.

PLVS said Shaw fell ill at school, eventually asking to go to the nurse's office. The district said it cannot legally give much information about what happened.

“There’s currently an investigation going on, on exactly what led up to him going to the nurse,” Eyman said.

From there, to the hospital, Shaw held on as long as he could as he suffered a medical emergency and struggled to breathe.

Family and friends say he had a food allergy.

“With serious medical conditions there’s always a medical plan, a health plan on file, that the teachers and nurses follow if something happens with that medical condition,” Eyman said.

Eyman said an investigation is ongoing about what led to the medical episode.

Shaw died overnight Saturday.

Monday, his twin, 14-year-old Jayce Shaw, along with his parents, returned to Liberty.

"He was an outgoing kid who loved his family and his friends. And we certainly saw that today at the school,” Eyman said.

The district offered crisis counselors, saying the entire weekend, losing one of their own, has been hard on staff and students.

“Remembering Jagger and the impact that he had. He was only an eighth-grader, he died way too soon, but the impact that he clearly had on his friend and his family and the entire community, I think our whole community is mourning his death," Eyman said.

Shaw’s family said they're heartbroken and want to share Jagger's story, but aren't quite ready yet.

Family said they hope to announce funeral details later this week.
