The Tragedy of Jessica Ghawi: Spared In Toronto, She Died In Colorado Shooting

By just minutes, Jessica Ghawi escaped a mass shooting in Toronto, last month. She chronicled the experience on her blog.

She wrote that at 6:20 p.m., she bought a burger but instead of sitting down to eat it at the Eaton Centre food court, she went outside to get some fresh air.

“The gunshots rung out at 6:23,” she wrote. “Had I not gone outside, I would’ve been in the midst of gunfire.”
