From the LVRJ: Jonathan Blunk had high hopes for the future. The 2004 graduate of Reno's Hug High School wanted to become a Navy SEAL.
But a gunman barged into a crowded Colorado theater and opened fire, killing Blunk and 11 other midnight moviegoers.
"It
is with heavy hearts that Kathleen and I learned today that Jonathan
Blunk, a Navy veteran and a hero, lost his life in yesterday's tragic
shooting in Colorado," Gov. Brian Sandoval said in a statement Saturday.
"Yesterday's horrific act made us all stop and remember how special
life is. Kathleen and I extend our thoughts and prayers to Jonathan's
Blunk's family."
Blunk, 26, served three tours in the Persian Gulf
and North Arabian Sea between 2004 and 2009, said close friend James
Gill of Brighton, Colo. http://www.lvrj.com/news/navy-vet-from-reno-among-colorado-shooting-victims-163309976.html
Blunk also died a hero: Blunk's friend, Jansen Young, told the "Today" show that he saved her
life by throwing her to the ground and telling her to stay down.
It seems that almost every State is claiming a shooting victim from Colorado as their own.
RIP Sailor and to the rest of the victims of the shooting.
