(AP) — A 17-year-old who survived being shot four times by an ex-boyfriend who then killed himself had transferred to the school where she was wounded to get away from him, a relative said Friday.

Jessica Forsyth was in fair condition at a Flint hospital, two days after police say 17-year-old David Turner shot her with a .44-caliber Magnum revolver outside H.H.

Dow High School.

Forsyth had transferred there Monday from an alternative school to get away from Turner, her great-aunt said.

"He wouldn't leave her alone," said Nancy Cook, a nurse.

Proponents say the added costs would be minuscule.

The legislation would affect any group health plans that cover 50 people or more.

Backers of the Senate version of the bill say that at least 113 million Americans would benefit from it.

Sen.

Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., one of three chief Senate sponsors, said that 20 percent of Americans would have some form of mental illness this year but that only a third of them would receive treatment.

The other chief sponsors are Republicans Pete Domenici of New Mexico and Michael Enzi of Wyoming.
