A teenage romance turned into a tragedy when police in Phoenix, Arizona, say a 15-year-old boy shot dead his ex-girlfriend before ending his own life.
Matthew Bolton and 16-year-old Anastasia 'Ana' Greer were both sophomores at Sandra Day O'Connor High School, and the girl had recently broke up with the 15-year-old.
According to police, the murder-suicide played out Friday at a home of Greer's friend in north Phoenix.

Bloody crime scene: Neighbors of West Villa Linda reported hearing a girl screaming in terror before gunshots erupted
Police say Bolton didn't go to school that day, and it is unclear how he got the gun, which was found on a sidewalk near the bodies.
Officers responded to a 911 call of a shooting around noon and found two people dead in the home's front yard from gunshot wounds.
Investigators said Bolton got a ride to the home in the 4000 block of West Villa Linda and met the girl in front of the house.
A neighbor, Jim Friel, told The Arizona Republic that he heard a scream and then gunshots and went across the street to the home to see what happened.

Too young: Friends remembered Greer, pictured here with her Valentine's Day gift from Bolton, as a kind and outgoing girl
Grieving friends described Ana Greer as a kind and outgoing girl who was active in her school's ROTC program.
Classmate Caleb Fleck told the station KPHO that Bolton, who was in his ROTC class, was well-behaved and was never known to be a troublemaker.
On his Facebook page, Matthew posted on Valentine's Day a photo of him and Greer smiling and holding a red 'I love you' teddy bear with a heart-shaped nose.
According police, just hours before the shooting, officials at Sandra Day O'Conner High School learned that a gun was spotted on the premises, and Bolton's name came up.
Students had an early release at 11am, but security officers were unable to locate the 16-year-old or the weapon on campus.
Henry Gano, who was in the area of Villa Linda Friday morning, said he noticed what he initially thought to be a couple of teens chasing one another and horsing around – that is until he saw a gun in the boy’s hand.

this realy sucks they shouldnt be fallen for each other like this havent even enjoyed their teenage lifes.
That is truly sad...she would not have been his last girlfriend.
WHITE PEOPLE AND THEIR TYPICAL WHITE ON WHITE CRIME.
damn, too young to be falling inlove and can't a breakup.
@ Lynn. you're right, but this scenario has played out thousands of times. He may love her, but she doesn't love him and I guess he felt he didn't want to live like that. I guess it was the ole" if I can't have you nobody can"
Oh my heavens! May the rest in peace. I continue to urge youth to avoid serious love relationships. Parents check in daily with your children's mental state, especially when there is a boyfriend/girlfriend. Give alternative activities out of the neighborhood. I do an entrepreneur boot camp for youth 17-24. I teach them business ethics and how to make money. I've found that when they have their money right, their mind is right!
I wonder if their parents knew how intense this relationship was, sadness.
What a sad, sad tragedy, They were both so very young just starting out in life. What a terrible loss for both family's. My heart goes out to you. You are in my prayers.
