Two years ago 8 people were killed in Atlanta-6 were Asian women. The shooter faces the death penalty for it, but a death penalty trial takes TIME. For @wabenews I spoke to those supporting the families through the complex legal process as the years pass. https://t.co/wUkpa6P9di

A bittersweet goodbye…
Some personal news, as they say. Today is my last day at @wabenews after almost 13 years at the station. I can't put into words how much I will miss the people there.
