Police have not made any arrests. They also haven't said where the fatal shot was fired from.
Rettinger was a standout softball player for UNI. She earned second-team Missouri Valley All-Conference honors her junior and senior season and led UNI in hits her senior year.
"I am devastated. [Rettinger] was a pretty special kid to us," UNI head softball coach Ryan Jacobs said. "I can still see the smile on her face and I remember the way she always thought of other people first in a genuine way. When we had youth camps, she was the one that all of the kids on campus would be drawn to. This is a huge loss to our team and everyone that knew her."
Rettinger graduated from UNI with a degree in biology in 2016.
