Jessica Redfield, Theater Shooting Victim, Escaped Shooting Last Month

Jessica Redfield, a young woman who was reportedly one of the victims of Friday morning’s shooting at a Dark Knight premiere in Aurora, Colo., was an aspiring sportscaster with an active online presence. According to her blog, she narrowly escaped a similar catastrophe in a Toronto shopping mall in early June.

Redfield’s chilling final blog post entitled “Late Night Thoughts on the Eaton Center Shooting,” was a reflection on the shooting at Toronto’s Eaton Center in early June and its impact on her life. Redfield was present at the scene of that event, but wrote that an “odd feeling” led her to “go outside and unknowingly out of harm’s way” before the shooter opened fire.

Unbelievably tragic. Speechless.
