As a reporter, I’ve covered tragedies, called coroner’s offices. I never imagined I’d have to do it for my chosen family, let alone for a mass shooting. Be kind like Aunt Mymy. #MontereyPark . Here is my recount. @wfaa @WFAADaybreak @aaja @TEGNA.

Mymy Nhan was the first person shot and killed during the #MontereyPark mass shooting. I've covered a lot of tragedies, and never imagined one would hit so close to home. My husband's family is hurting beyond measure. Here's a statement on behalf of the family.

Last night, we got a 14 minute call that we anticipated, dreaded, and will never forget. It was from the coroner’s office. Remember the victims of the Monterey Park mass shooting. More to come.

I realized I didn’t clarify - she’s my husband’s aunt. Please direct all media inquiries to me, as you can imagine they have a lot to take care of moving forward. Mymy treated her nieces/nephews like her own kids. Her kindness is what’s needed in this world. #MontereyPark.

Hi all,. Our family started a GoFundMe for Mymy Nhan’s funeral. Mymy’s mother (my husband’s grandma) also passed away 4 weeks ago so this is back to back funerals for the family.😢 Mymy was her primary caretaker. They’re together now, dancing in heaven.

I posted this video Saturday night, not knowing it would reach so many people. The little boy’s parents saw it and contacted me. They told me his name is Lorenzo. He’s 9. When he yelled “Run!”, he was telling me to run. Thank you for looking out for me, sweet boy. 🥺 @wfaa

Tarrant County just updated election numbers. This isn't the final count, and it doesn't impact Trump's win in Texas, but it is still interesting. VP Joe Biden has now taken the lead in Tarrant County, ahead of President Donald Trump by 427 votes. @wfaa #votetexas #wfaa

Today was trash day at Aunt Mymy’s house. Cousin said the sanitation worker asked about her. He saw a victim photo, hoping it wasn’t her. 😞. Aunty used to run out on trash day to make sure he had something to drink. Her everyday impact. Spread Mymy’s kindness. #MontereyPark

It’s been emotional, but important for my husband’s family to share Aunt Mymy’s story. But for now, the ask is no more interviews as they plan her funeral. I can answer questions on behalf of the family, but please give them the space to heal. ❤️🩹 . #MontereyPark

This is Paul Timothy Willis. He was killed last night in a Fort Worth mass shooting. 11 people were shot and 3 died after Comofest. His mom brought flowers and sat next to the blood-stained concrete where he died. Paul was 18, goofy, hard-working, a big brother, a son. @wfaa
