"Is he going to come shoot me?"

[kadee79]

Skylin Jamrowski had just received the worst news of her young life.



Her mother was shot and killed in what police believe was a terror attack fueled by hatred for Hispanic immigrants.



"Is my dad dead?" the 5-year-old asked her grandmother. For hours the family didn't know, searching for facts of what had happened when police say a young white man started shooting outside and then inside a Walmart, killing 22 people and injuring two dozen more.



But yes, her stepfather -- the man she called dad -- was dead along with his wife. Skylin, the eldest of three children, had to be told. She responded with tears and a question about the killer: "Is he going to come and shoot me?"



Skylin is not alone, surrounded by the love of her remaining family. She has a younger sister, Victoria, and a baby brother, Paul Gilbert, 2 months old. The baby survived the massacre when his mom, Jordan Anchondo, shielded him with her body when she was shot. His father, Andre Anchondo tried to protect them both, relatives said.



"The shooter had aimed at Jordan. And Andre jumped in front of Jordan. And the shooter shot Andre, and the bullets went through Andre and hit Jordan," said Misti Jamrowski, Jordan Anchondo's mom.



Paul lost both his biological parents. Torie and Skylin lost their mom and stepdad.

Sad state of affairs.

I am going to get the 'worst person of the year' award for this one, but this blonde, seemingly white woman appears to be getting a lot more press than the other victims. Maybe the family is pushing their story, or something else?

the blond pretty ones always get the most press.

Applies to missing children too. Sad.

Interesting that he managed to shoot a few browns there were just there shopping and planning to go home afterwards.  You'd think he'd be in support of this kind of visitor.     They go away after spending their money.

So did the Blond girl get shot?

OC - In Reply #2, it states "but this blonde, seemingly white woman appears to be getting a lot more press than the other victims."

Nobody is a victim until they are harmed in some way. As the word 'victim' is pluralized in the sentence I quoted, that means there were multiple victims.

So Yes, OC, she was shot. And killed.

I believe she was married to a Hispanic male, if that counts for anything......I cannot remember if he was wounded, or not, but I get your point.

If the blond woman is the woman who saved her two-month old baby by covering him/her, her husband did die.

Yes. Her husband died and her infant was shielded by her and is alive.

I don't know a single thing about any other victim, but I have seen many pictures of this lady, heard her family and friends talking, and know the status of her baby's broken fingers and know how her older children reacted, etc. Almost as if she was the only victim... I will say that there was something unsettling about the interview with her Aunt. Almost as if they weren't related. The Aunt didn't have much information and was saying random things. Maybe she wasn't a close relative, but wanted her 15 minutes of fame as the grieving family member - or maybe people just act weird when a disgusting person shoots someone you love and a bunch of other people for such an asshole reason.

Yes, I have seen one picture of the two of them together, and a dozen pictures of her.
