The mother of an Annunciation Catholic School shooting victim is a pediatric care nurse who went to work to help victims before realizing it was her daughter’s school that had been attacked.
Sophia Forchas, 12, who is still fighting for her life in the intensive care unit, was one of 14 students injured in the massacre perpetrated by deranged former Annunciation student Robin Westman, who identified as transgender.

Her younger brother was also inside the school during Wednesday’s assault when Westman, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the scene, opened fire on a back-to-school Mass taking place inside.
