A MOTHER WHOSE six-year-old daughter was killed in the Aurora cinema massacre on 20 July – and who was critically injured herself – has suffered a miscarriage.
Ashley Moser’s family confirmed in a statement to local media yesterday that she is recovering from surgery but that the trauma had caused a miscarriage. The 25-year-old suffered wounds to the neck and abdomen in the shooting.
Moser’s daughter Veronica Moser-Sullivan was the youngest victim of the deadly attack, which occurred after midnight in the Colorado theatre during a showing of The Dark Knight Rises.
According to KKTV, plans to lay the young girl to rest are still pending.
Here is the full statement from the Moser family:
