Girl Whose Heart Stopped After Kalamazoo Shooting Finally Opens Her Eyes, Family Says
A teenager critically injured in last month's Kalamazoo shooting has been able to open her eyes and look at her parents, her family said today.
Abigail Kopf, 14, was one of eight people in a series of shootings in Kalamazoo that left six dead. Suspected shooter Jason Dalton, an Uber driver, was arrested and charged with the murders.
Abigail was gravely injured in the shootings and her heart stopped temporarily due to her injuries, according to officials from Bronson Methodist Hospital. The hospital confirmed on Tuesday that Abigail was doing better and had been upgraded to fair condition.
Her family posted a statement today about the teen on an online fundraising site.
"She looked at us tonight," her parents wrote. "Her right eye is too swollen yet, but she managed to open her eyes and recognized us."
