ATLANTA — One of four women wounded in last week’s mass shooting at a midtown Atlanta doctor’s office is telling her story.
Jazzmin Daniel, 25, was working as a receptionist at the front desk of Northside Medical for six months when a disgruntled patient opened fire in the waiting room, killing one woman and wounding four others.
Deion Patterson, 24, was later arrested in Cobb County after an hours-long manhunt.
Daniel said in a GoFundMe set up to help with her expenses as she recovers that she is the mother of a one-year-old son.
“I was in the process of clocking out for lunch when I was shot in the chest and abdomen,” Daniels wrote. “It’s a blessing that I am alive and breathing. I wouldn’t wish this pain on anyone; I have suffered mentally and physically. Not only have I suffered but my family, friends, and loved ones.”
Daniels said that in addition to her work at the doctor’s office, she runs her own sweets and cake business on Instagram and has had to cancel orders due to her injuries.
“My whole life changed in a blink of an eye,” Daniels wrote. “I have a long recovery ahead of me and I would be very grateful for any donation provided. No gesture is too small, everything will help.”
Of the four victims who were wounded, two remain in the hospital and two have been released. It’s unclear if Daniels is still in the hospital.
