CINCINNATI (AP) — Two victims of the deadly shooting spree in a Colorado movie theater are set to be laid to rest at funerals in Ohio and Texas.
Both Jessica Ghawi's and Matt McQuinn's stories struck a chord across the country following the July 20 massacre that left 12 dead and 58 wounded in Aurora, Colo.
Ghawi was an aspiring sports journalist from San Antonio. She had survived a shooting at a Toronto mall in June.
McQuinn had just moved to Colorado from Ohio last fall with his girlfriend, Samantha Yowler. He saved Yowler in the same movie theater by diving in front of her and taking three bullets.
McQuinn's funeral will be held Saturday in his western Ohio hometown of Springfield, while Ghawi's will be in San Antonio.
