She then proceeds to the locker chaning room of the school where John Kimble shoots and kills Crisp. Eleanor arrives and shoots Kimble in the shoulder, whom stumbles to the nearby shower compartment. She picks up Kimble's gun and takes its battery out before placing it onto the locker shelf, but at that point notices Crisp's body. Despite the death of her son, she shows no emotion when glaring at him, then turns towards the shower compartment and fires bullets at the tile wall to coerce an injured Kimble of Dominic's wherabouts, but he refuses. When Eleanor prepares to shoot to kill him, an injured O'Hara appears and uses all her strenth to knock her out with a baseball bat. Eleanor is then arrested for her crimes and is taken into custody.
