Jessica Ghawi, a well-known Denver-area hockey blogger, also known as Jessica Redfield on Twitter was among the dead when 24-year-old James Holmes allegedly open fire on a crowded movie theater premiering “The Dark Knight Rises” in Aurora, Colorado early Friday morning.
According to KSAT Ghawi moved to the Denver are from San Antonio, Texas and was an intern at the You Can Play Project.
“Our staff is despondent today over the loss of our intern Jessica Redfield. We will miss her intelligence, kindness, and work ethic greatly,” was the message from the organization’s Twitter feed Friday morning.
Ironically Ghawi escaped injury when a gunman opened fire at a Toronto Mall. She blogged just last month describing the scene at the Eaton Centre mall in Toronto after a gunman began shooting in the food court.
I can’t get this odd feeling out of my chest. This empty, almost sickening feeling won’t go away. I noticed this feeling when I was in the Eaton Center in Toronto just seconds before someone opened fire in the food court. An odd feeling which led me to go outside and unknowingly out of harm’s way. It’s hard for me to wrap my mind around how a weird feeling saved me from being in the middle of a deadly shooting.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the families and friends of the victims in this terrible tragedy.
