In the border town of El Paso, Texas, a shooter opened fire and left 22 people dead and more than two dozen injured. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for 21-year-old Patrick Crusius.
Jordan Anchondo was among those killed in El Paso, Anchondo's sister said, and she apparently died while protecting her 2-month-old son from the hail of bullets. The next day, her family confirmed her husband Andre had also died.
Leta Jamrowski of El Paso spoke to The Associated Press as she paced a waiting room at the University Medical Center of El Paso. That's where her 2-month-old nephew was being treated for broken bones - the result of his mother's fall.
"From the baby's injuries, they said that more than likely my sister was trying to shield him," she said. "So when she got shot she was holding him and she fell on him, so that's why he broke some of his bones. So he pretty much lived because she gave her life."
