What A Brother Wants You To Know About HisSister.
Last week this time, the world woke up to news that a gunman in Aurora, CO slipped into a midnight premiere of the new Batman movie through an emergency exit, tossed two gas canisters and then methodically started shooting people. He killed 12 people and wounded 58. It is now among the worst mass shootings in American history.Covering the story for the Dr. Drew, I was on a plane on Saturday to Aurora to cover the story to see what we could find out about shooter, James Holmes. But what I saw, was a community that was coming together in a difficult time and supporting each other. I spoke with many of the families who either lost a loved one, or a family member who was injured.
As one can expect, there is a lot of intense emotions and sadness in Aurora and people want to know why James Holmes did what he did. Who is James Holmes? What made James Holmes snap?
However, one person I spoke with wanted to turn the conversation away from the alleged shooter, and focus the discussion on the victims. I spoke with Jordan Ghawi who lost his sister, 24-year old Jessica Ghawi who was shot in the head. Jordan wants to make sure that the world doesn't forget the names of the 12 victims that died and only remember the name of the shooter.
Here is video of my conversation with Jordan Ghawi.
