Naperville, IL (WLS/CNN) - Students, teachers and the community are mourning the loss of a school teacher near Chicago.
He was stabbed to death in a nightclub.
Shaun Wild, 24, taught second grade at Spring Brook Elementary in Naperville.
He was killed early Saturday morning.
Police say a man confessed on video that he stabbed Wild in the chest with a five-inch folding knife.
The State's Attorney says there was an argument after Wild's friend made a comment about the suspect drinking beer from a wine glass.
That friend and a bouncer also were hurt.
Parents of the kids Wild taught say it's been difficult to explain what happened to their children.
"It's been hard. Mr. Wild was an awesome teacher for Abby. She had all great things to say about him. He would go to all of the students' sporting events, and he would always make sure he made a personal connection. And I know he's a very special teacher for her," said Chad Allen, the parent of a student.
The suspect has been charged with first degree murder.
He's being held on a $3 million bond.
