Rosanna S. King was 23 when she died at home in Paradise, Pennsylvania. Her death is described as a direct result of injuries she suffered 18 years earlier during the October 2, 2006 attack at the West Nickel Mines Amish School. When the shooter, identified as 32-year-old milk truck driver Charles Carl Roberts IV, barricaded himself in the one-room schoolhouse he released the boys and several adults but tied up and shot ten young girls; five died that day. Roberts then took his own life.

Rosanna was six at the time and was the most severely injured of the survivors, shot in the head. She lived with profound, permanent disabilities thereafter: unable to speak, dependent on a feeding tube, requiring constant care and assistance with mobility. Her family cared for her at home in the Amish community; a year after the shooting they reported she recognized them and smiled despite limited physical movement.

Does anyone have memories of Rosanna or information about how the community cared for her over the years?
