Victim Of Aurora Shooting Survived Earlier Tragedy!

Again we at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to those lost in the tragic shooting in Aurora, Colorado.

We learn a little bit about the victims of the Aurora shooting. Jessica Redfield-Ghawi was a Texan girl with a passion to cover sports and had an exciting life. That was tragically taken by James Holmes, a deranged shooter who managed to kill 12 people while watching the premiere of Batman: The Dark Knight Rises. 

As the names are released, people are shocked about one in particular who survived an earlier tragedy. This  victim was a survivor of a Toronto mall shooting earlier this year. This young woman's death brings another painful reminder that life is innocent and this callous killer had no care for it.

Jessica Redfield-Ghawi was a 24-year old inspiring sports writer who was living in Denver with her boyfriend and his friends to watch the premiere of the The Dark Night Rises, the final Batman movie featuring Christian Bale and directed by Christian Nolan.

Jessica was full of life according to some who knew her, and wanted to live her life to the fullest.

Her earlier brush with tragedy happened only six weeks ago in Toronto, Canada. There was a mall shooting in which a gunman managed to kill two and injure three.

She managed to blog about the tragedy on her personal blog and talked about the earlier tragedy on her Twitter page.

According to the New York Daily News, Jessica was watching “The Dark Knight Rises” with a long-time friend when a gunman opened fire minutes into the midnight premiere.

She was shot twice, once in the head, her family said.

The young woman was attending the movie with a pal she had convinced to accompany her, Twitter posts show.
                       
“Never thought I’d have to coerce a guy into seeing the midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises with me,” Ghawi wrote in the hours leading up to her death.



“Of course we’re seeing Dark Knight. Redheaded Texan spitfire, people should never argue with me. Maybe I should get in on those NHL talks...”


Her final post to a hockey writer pal reads: “MOVIE DOESN’T START FOR 20 MINUTES.”

She was employed at KDVR 31, a Fox affiliate based out of Denver.

The day unfolds and we continue to hear stories of bravery and tragedy. We will cover some and tell their tales and hope that justice will be served to the individual(s) responsible for the tragic death of these victims.
