Survivor of Trolley Square massacre urges lawmakers to reform Medicaid
SALT LAKE CITY — Carolyn Tuft, a survivor of the 2007 siege at Trolley Square, called on state lawmakers Monday to pass Medicaid reform.
Tuft said she has no prescription coverage and can't afford drugs to counteract the hundreds of lead gunshot pellets that remain in her body.
Tuft is one of nine people shot during the attack at Trolley Square on Feb. 12, 2007, by a single gunman. Tuft's 15-year-old daughter, Kirsten Hinckley, was one of five people killed at the shopping mall that day.
