They announced on the 10:00 news that the woman who was fatally wounded today
was Patricia Irene Frengs, a 55 year old woman from California. In addition to
those listed in the Deseret News article, they mentioned Nellie Leighton, an
80 year old woman from California, who was wounded and is currently in the
hospital.
What a terrible tragedy.
