Jailyn Goins said her brother woke her up Tuesday morning when he heard about the school shooting and who police said was responsible.
 
"He's saying, 'Oh the guy who stabbed me, he shot somebody.' I didn't believe it because it's too soon. It hasn't even been a year yet, you know?" she said.
 
Both teens were charged in the case and Jailyn Goins said both pleaded guilty in court.
 
Montgomery County Schools would not confirm Russell's name in connection with the stabbing.

Jailyn Goins said her brother was eventfully allowed back to school.
 
She said it's hard for her family to believe Russell is charged in another violent crime at another school.
