Midnight Movie Massacre: Survivor of June mall shooting killed in Colorado theater

It turns out that Jessica Ghawi, aka Jessica Redfield who was killed at the Batman movie premiere in Aurora, had just escaped a Toronto mall shooting on June 2, 2012.

Her experience was documented in her blog.  Her entries describe the sense/feelings that she had before the shooting occurred.

“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.

NHL writer among dead in Colorado theater shooting

Among those killed in Aurora, Colorado was a hockey writer Jessica Ghawi, aka Jessica Redfield.

The tragedy hits close to home for those in the hockey business.  She was involved with the website Busted Coverage, an intern at 104.3 FM a Denver radio station and also with the You Can Play Project.

“The thing that stood out to me most about Jessica was how sharp-witted she was, and funny at that,” per Sporting News NHL (National Hockey League) writer Jesse Spector speaking with People Magazine. “It’s what made following her on Twitter so much fun. She was amazingly enthusiastic about hockey, journalism and life in general.”
