A woman who survived a 2007 mass shooting in Salt Lake City said Thursday she has lead poisoning from 300 shotgun pellets still in her body, leaving her with debilitating headaches, nausea and other serious health problems.
Carolyn Tuft, whose 15-year-old daughter died in the Trolley Square mall shooting, has been unable to work, resulting in the loss of her home and business, she told The Associated Press.
She is stricken when she thinks about other survivors dealing with similar problems after mass shootings, including recent slayings in Texas, Ohio and California.
