Friends mourn Jewish victim in Florida shooting

Friends of Jaime Guttenberg, the first fatality to be named from yesterday’ fatal shooting spree at a Florida school which left 17 dead, leave tributes on Facebook to say how “heartbroken” they are at her death.

According to local media reports, parents Fred and Jennifer, who are Jewish, initially shared photos of their daughter through Facebook, in the hope that someone would find her alive.

On learning that she had died, they changed Jaime’s Facebook page, which now reads, “Remembering Jaime Guttenberg. We hope that people who love Jaime will find comfort in visiting her profile to remember and celebrate her life.”

Jaime’s brother Jesse, also a pupil at the school, was unharmed in the attack.

Another Jewish victim, according to Yeshiva World News, was Ben Wikander, who was shot three times and was undergoing surgery.
