COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY STUDENT JUMPS TO HER DEATH

 Marta Corey-Ochoa commited suicide last night by throwing herself off a dorm building at Columbia University. On her Facebook page, she proudly declared herself a member of the Class of 2016(graduating class) at Columbia University, her father’s alma mater but she never made it to the lecture halls of the ivy league college.

Just two hours after a meet-and-greet for freshmen at her dorm on Monday night, she apparently jumped to her death from a 14th floor window.
Police do not think her plunge was an accident, and a source said Corey-Ochoa had a history of psychiatric problems.
Corey-Ochoa’s parents were devastated by the loss of their only child.

An only child, oh my God!! Can't imagine what they must be going through.

Families of the Aurora shooting victims' families held a joint press conference in Denver on Tuesday to voice their anger and demand "a robust voice" in the handling of money given in their loved ones' names to Giving First and the Colorado Organization for Victims Assistance (COVA).

The foundation has been collecting money from both private and corporate donors for victims caught in the Aurora theater. So far, more than $5 million has rolled in.
But instead of going to the victims and their families or to victims who are struggling to pay bills due to incapacitation resulting from injuries sustained from the shooting, the money has been doled out to non-profits and government agencies, said Teves, father of 24 year old Alex Teeves who lost his life in the shooting.
The fund was set up with the endorsement of the Governor of Colorado, John Hickenlooper, who has not directly answered victims' complaints, Teeves said.
