“I have touched the lives of many students and colleagues”

A school district official remembers Karyn Lombardo, 57, as a teacher who left a “profound impact” on the Burbank, California, community.

A California community is in mourning after a beloved elementary school teacher was killed in her family home, and police say her adult son is the killer.

Karyn Lombardo, 57, was found dead by police officers who responded to her Burbank home around 10 p.m. on Tuesday, May 7, following a report of an “unresponsive female,” according to a Press release shared by the Burbank Police Department.

“Life-saving measures were taken by police and paramedics, but the woman was pronounced deceased at the scene,” police said. Authorities added that Lombardo lived in the home with her adult son and her husband.

Police say a subsequent investigation resulted in the arrest of Lombardo’s adult son, Kyle Lombardo, 25, for murder. It is unclear whether he pleaded guilty or whether he has retained an attorney to speak on his behalf.

Police say Kyle killed his mother “during an altercation” inside the home. “There are no outstanding suspects and no danger to the community,” the release said.

According to KTLA, KNBCAnd KABC-TV, a local school official confirmed that Karyn was a teacher at Bret Harte Elementary School in Burbank. She had worked at the school since 1993 and taught kindergarten, performing arts and more, KABC-TV reported.

Burbank Unified Superintendent John Paramo said in a statement shared with KTLA and other media outlets that Karyn left a “profound impact” on the community.

“His dedication, warmth and passion for teaching touched the lives of many students and colleagues,” Paramo said, according to KTLA. “His profound impact and loss on this community will be deeply felt throughout the city of Burbank. »
