She is academically highachieving and got straight As in school examinations around three months ago. Following her results she immediately left to compete in an international pro circuit tennis event. While abroad and dining in a restaurant, she and her coach directly witnessed a mass shooting. Two people were killed and others were wounded at the scene. One died from their injuries later. A knew nothing about the reasons for the attack, nor did she know the deceased.
