Students gathered Wednesday morning for a prayer service to honor Jessica "Jess" Goode, 23, the Ferrum student shot and killed Tuesday in a hunting incident that also injured a male student.
 
Authorities confirmed Goode's identity this morning.
 
Three students were collecting specimens for a biology class along a Franklin County-owned trail about a mile west of campus (see a map) when Goode was fatally shot in the chest and another, a male, was shot in the hand, authorities said.
 
Kimberly Boudinot said over the phone from her home in Irvington, near the Chesapeake Bay, that her stepson Regis Boudinot, 20, a junior at the college, was shot in the hand. She said a bullet had struck Goode, and then entered Regis' right arm before exiting through his hand.
 
Jason David Cloutier, 31, of Ferrum was charged with manslaughter, reckless handling of a firearm and trespassing, said Sgt. Karl Martin, district supervisor of the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.

Wednesday afternoon, officers from the DGIF and the Franklin County Sheriff's Office were still on the scene of the shooting. Just off a dirt road at the end of West Franklin Road, investigators continue to collect evidence.

Goode and Boudinot were shot just 75 yards away from the paved cul-de-sac at the end of West Franklin Road, said Franklin County Sheriff Ewell Hunt. Cloutier, the hunter, was another 100 yards into the wooded area, he said. Cloutier lived near the other end of the dirt road on the other side of the wooded area, Hunt said.

A prayer service was held this morning at Vaughn Chapel, and classes during that hour were canceled.
 
Sam Catron, Ferrum's Student Government Association president, spoke at the memorial service, describing Goode as someone who always wore her heart on her sleeve and did what she wanted.
 
The service "helped a lot of people," he said. "We were able to share Jess. Share the love that she gave."
 
A Facebook remembrance page for Goode has also been created.

Goode's aunt, Harriet Smith, said her niece loved the outdoors and could often be found kayaking on Lake Holiday, about 30 minutes northwest of Winchester, where her parents lived.
 
"You can almost always count on seeing Jess out on the water," she said. Goode's Facebook picture shows her foot resting on the edge of a kayak on the lake, Smith said.
 
Goode would have graduated from Ferrum in December, Smith said. She wasn't sure what Goode's major was, but believed it involved environmental science. Goode had talked about moving out of state, possibly to Colorado or California, after graduation.
 
"She was really psyched about how well she had done," Smith said.
