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.”
