Small Smiles: A Little Girl's Story!

Veronica Moser-Sullivan was the youngest victim of the Aurora tragedy. 

The tragedy in Aurora, Colorado is an ongoing issue. This is one of the worst shootings in American history.

This equals up to the mass shooting at Fort Hood Army Base, in Texas. Nidal Hasan was the military officer who opened fired on his fellow soldiers killing 13 and injuring numerous others. This tragedy was in November 2009. Conservatives were blaming President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder for the tragedy. They claim that the president didn't even want to acknowledge Hasan's ties to al-Qaeda and the Yemeni-American cleric Anwar Al-Awlaki. The cleric inspired the Christmas airline bomber, the Time Square bomber, the cargo airline bombing plot and the call for the assassination of a woman who wanted to mock prophet Mohammad. Conservatives want to say that Hasan is a terrorist. Some claim that he was a lone wolf gunman. Hasan is facing the death penalty if the Leavenworth officers find him guilty on mass murder. 

Shooting suspect James Holmes is accused of killing 12 and injuring over 60 people.

                                 
James Holmes could have been inspired by conservatives such as Michael Savage, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. Of course, conservatives rush to blame the president for politicizing the event and blames liberals for rushing to judgment in determining this person is a conservative. Now if he was determined to be a conservative, they would make the claim that he was a "Democrat." Joel Pollak of Breitbart News has already put forth the notion that since he's a gun-lover and hoarding ammunition, he's a liberal Occupy Wall Street activist. But you also get the NRA warning that the president wanted to take guns the moment he's gotten into the White House. Of course, President Barack Obama hasn't signed any legislation that takes firearms. 

But of course, that hasn't stop activists like the current president of the NRA, the perennial candidate for higher office Wayne LaPierre. This gentleman has been on the speaking circuit trying to scare up some fundraising. This political debate over gun control is a controversial issue. The president and the Democrats are tepid in this because they know the conservatives are riled up and this issue will become a defining issue.

                     

Veronica and her mother Ashley Moser were attending the Batman movie when James Holmes attacked. Ashley suffered severe injuries. She had a miscarriage of her unborn child. She is now likely paralyzed and her daughter was killed by the gunfire.

Today we talk about the young girl who didn't even get an opportunity to see her future. And of course, the hardest thing to hear is the death of a small child by a firearm.

Veronica Moser-Sullivan was the youngest victim of this horrible tragedy. The little girl with her mother Ashley wanted to get a glimpse of the Batman movie. Holmes opened fire injuring Veronica and her mother.

Ashley was severely wounded. Her family told Ashley the tragic news of Veronica being killed. The family fears that if Ashley see the news of the tragedy, it may send her into shock! Ashley is pregnant and the shock could injure her child. The injuries could leave the young mother paralyzed. It was reported that her injuries took a toll on her unborn. The young mother had a miscarriage.

According to The Daily Telegraph UK, the young mother shot in the neck and stomach during the Colorado massacre was said to be "absolutely devastated" on Sunday night after finally being told of her six-year-old's daughter's death at the hands of gunman James Holmes.

"I don't know how but she still has the baby," her brother Robert Sierra told the Daily Mail. "It's a miracle as she was shot in the stomach."

Her grandmother Jean Moser told The Daily Telegraph that family members had been told that Ashley's condition was too serious and doctors had warned against telling her news of Veronica's death too early.

The heartbreaking tale emerged as the town of Aurora, near Denver, reels from one of the worst mass shootings in US history, which left 59 injured in addition to those who were killed.

On Sunday night Barack Obama was due to visit the town to meet victims and their families. The president has suspended his election campaign in the wake of the massacre. Mr Obama and Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential candidate, have come under pressure to address the issue of gun control in America.

13 year old girl named Kaylan tried to save the little girl lost in this horrible tragedy.

The tragedy has a shade of heroism. A teenager managed to rush to the aid of the young girl. The media announced that the young girl named Kaylan who is aged 13 rushed to the aid of Veronica. But with all the panic, some were told to leave the victims.

Many felt that this tragedy could have been avoided if some of the moviegoers would have been armed as well. That's the irrational thinking of people who want "to be the hero!" No one knew what the outcome would of been if you had a person shooting in the crowd.

Movie theaters aren't well protected. Anyone could enter a movie theater and let off a weapon of mass destruction let alone use of a firearm.

The stories of heroism and tales of survival brings some closure. You can't bring back the many lives lost under gunfire. From Aurora to Chicago. From the United States to Afghanistan, people are dying at the hands of firearms.We here at Journal de la Reyna mourn the lost of Veronica Moser-Sullivan and every other victim of this tragedy.
