"The Dark Knight Rises" and then celebrate his first wedding anniversary
on Sunday.

Late Friday, Sullivan's family confirmed that police told them he was among those killed.“Oh man one hour till the movie and its going to be the best BIRTHDAY

heart." (Source NY Daily News and Associated Press)

JESSICA GHAWI, 24

Jordan Ghawi said on his website that a man who was with his sister
at the theater described the chaos, saying he and Jessica Ghawi dropped
to take cover when the gunman first started shooting. Jessica Ghawi was
shot in the leg, her brother wrote, describing details relayed to him by
a man identified on the blog only as a mutual friend named Brent.

The
man was then shot, but he continued attending to Jessica Ghawi's wound
before he realized she had stopped screaming, Jordan Ghawi stated. The
man said Jessica Ghawi had been shot in the head.

Jessica Ghawi,
24, moved to Denver from Texas about a year ago and friends and
colleagues described her as outgoing, smart and witty.

Ghawi
blogged at length about surviving the Eaton Centre mall shooting in
Toronto that killed two people and sent several others to the hospital.

Jessica
Ghawi wrote of the Toronto shooting: "I was shown how fragile life was
on Saturday. I saw the terror on bystanders' faces. I saw the victims of
a senseless crime. I saw lives change. I was reminded that we don't
know when or where our time on Earth will end. When or where we will
breathe our last breath." (Associated Press)
