An aspiring sportswriter from San Antonio is one of at least 12 people who were killed in a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado last night.  Jessica Ghawi  made her start covering the San Antonio Rampage and working as an intern at a local San Antonio radio station.  She moved to Denver and worked for the Colorado Avalanche radio and TV broadcasts.  Ghawi wrote under the name Jessica Redfield and was a writer for the sports website Busted Coverage.  Ghawi was in the theater to see the opening of "Dark Knight Rises."  She was at the movie with a friend, Brett Lowak, who was injured in the shooting.  Her brother, Jordan Ghawi, wrote in a blog that Ghawi was shot once initially and then was shot moments later in the head. 
Jessica also missed tragedy by minutes after a shooting in a shopping mall in Toronto early this year.  She stated in a blog how missing the shooting and being that close to tragedy and how having a certain feeling made her leave the mall.  Ghawi said about the incident that "I know I truly understand how blessed for each second I am given."
