Tributes to popular Alex

AN Oldham-born teenager found dead after she and her American boyfriend allegedly shot dead a police officer in Orlando, Florida, before killing themselves was “a pleasure to have in school” according to her former head teacher.

Alexandria Hollinghurst was born in Oldham but moved to America when she was 11.

Orange County Sheriff’s Office said Alex and her boyfriend Brandon Goode (18) had left what looks to be suicide notes written hours before the shooting.

Alexandria’s grandmother Joyce Johnson, of Blackley, said: “Alex completely changed after she met Brandon.”
