Her husband and a dog were also grazed by injuries. "I heard the noise of the shots. By the time I ran there, he had already shot my son-in-law, my son-in-law was already down. My [daughter], I went to hug [her], but he also shot my [daughter] in the chest and [she] died too. I was hit, my husband was grazed. It was a lot of tragedy."
