Colorado Shooting Victims

The most recent ones. Unless there are more being produced as I type this.

The two civilian victims of the Colorado Planned Parenthood shooting were named by family members, local media reported on Sunday.

....

The woman who died was identified as Jennifer Markovsky, a Hawaii-born resident of Colorado Springs. The man who was killed was named as Ke’Arre Stewart.

The third person killed was University of Colorado–Colorado Springs police officer Garrett Swasey, a 44-year-old father of two. 

Ke'Arre Stewart:

Ke'Arre Stewart, an Army veteran who served in Iraq and the father of two girls, was among the three people killed in Friday's shooting at a Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs, a friend confirmed Sunday.

Stewart, 29, graduated from La Vega High School in Texas in 2004 and joined the Army, said friend Amburh Butler. Stewart was stationed at Fort Hood and did one tour in Iraq.

Stewart was a good father and friend, Cross said.

Jennifer Markovsky:

Family members identified the woman as Jennifer Markovsky, a 1997 Waianae High School graduate.

They said Markovsky was accompanying a friend who had an appointment at the clinic in Colorado Springs. The friend suffered a gunshot wound to the hand.

"The family is grieving. We're all shocked," one of Markovsky's relatives said.

On Facebook, Markovsky's father, John Ah King mourned his daughter's loss.

This is just a side note: Hawaii has the lowest per capita rate of firearm deaths in the U.S. That's because they regulate them there. Can I prove that? No. It's common sense. 

Colorado ranks number 26.

ADDENDUM: I want to add this story that was in CSM today on Ke'Arre Stewart.

After being shot outside the Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood clinic Friday, Iraq War veteran Ke'Arre Stewart ran inside to warn the others..

With his last breaths, his brother said in an interview with NBC, the father of two tried to save the lives of those still in the clinic.

Calling his brother a hero, Leyonte Chandler recounted Mr. Stewart’s involvement in the five-hour standoff. He said Stewart had been outside the building when he was shot.

"He tried to run back inside the building – well, he did – and tell the other people inside, you know, 

'Take cover, get down,'" Mr. Chandler said. "People started taking cover, hiding in bathrooms and whatnot."
