ATLANTA — It's been a week since a gunman opened fire at a metro Atlanta medical facility, taking the life of one and injuring four others.
The four victims were taken to Grady Hospital for treatment shortly after the shooting.
Officials with the hospital said that two of the victims from the shooting had been released in a Wednesday update, including the one that left the hospital on Friday.
The other two victims remain at the hospital but have been moved out of the ICU and are progressing well, Grady said in the update.
We are learning more about those survivors, including Jazzmin Daniel.
Daniel started a verified fundraiser, describing how she was shot last week while working at the front desk of Northside Medical Midtown, to support her one-year-old.
The 25-year-old added that she was getting ready to clock out for lunch when a gunman walked in and shot her in the chest and abdomen.
That moment, she said, brought her life and her side baking business to a halt.
Alesha Hollinger is another survivor. Her verified fundraiser shows she's a mother of three, who was in the doctor's office waiting room, doing her job, when she was shot in the face.
While for them, it's been a week of recovery, for others, like Cait Powell, it's been a week of grieving for her dear friend, 38-year-old Amy St. Pierre who was killed that day.
“We’re still feeling the raw emotions of the last couple of days. We’re here for her. We’re here for change in Georgia," she said. "How many more times are we going to have to go through these things?”
Powell, who was at a Moms for Action rally outside the governor's mansion last week, said they must carry on her legacy.
"Amy was an amazing person," Powell said. "She also was an activist so she would’ve been here next to us today."
Powell said it’s ironic St. Pierre died how she did, as the beloved mother of two – who constantly fought for gun control and gun safety.
St. Pierre's former coworker, Dr. Michael Kramer, said she impacted so many lives through her work with the CDC on maternal mortality.
"She had such made such a mark on the work that they made," he said. "The team is incredibly successful in many ways now... and I think, in large part to her ability to see the vision and see the steps that need to happen to make it be real.”
St. Pierre's celebration of life will be this Friday at 4 p.m. in the Cherry Logan Emerson Concert Hall of Emory University.
The family asks that instead of flowers, donations are made to social justice organizations like the ones listed below:
- Tides Advocacy Fund (Solidaire Action)
- Highlander Research and Education Center (Southern Power Fund)
- Cypress Fund (Neo Philanthropy, Inc.)
Police have identified the alleged shooter as 24-year-old Deion Patterson. He took law enforcement on an hours-long manhunt before police in Cobb County captured him taking him into custody.
Authorities are still investigating the motive of the shooting.
