Laura Shipp was like so many parents. She was devoted to her son. She even moved to Las Vegas to be closer to the 23-year-old Marine. Now she is dead.
She’s one of 58 people killed by Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock.
Laura was headed to the bathroom and became separated from her group when the shooting broke out, reported USA Today.
“She was his world,” Laura’s brother Steve Shipp said, “and he was hers.”
The family searched everywhere for Laurie after the shooting, without success.
