Eight-year-old Christin McCarron was a bright, creative child who loved riding her bike, playing in the backyard with her brother and caring for her favorite doll Molly. She had written a play for her Montessori class and was growing out her blond hair with plans to be an Indian princess for Halloween. Her mother, Echo McCarron, remembered her as very, very sweet and thoughtful of others’ feelings.

On Monday, June 20, 1994, Christin was being babysat by the Moe family and was with them at the Fairchild Air Force Base medical facility. While the group sat in the cafeteria after a child’s physical exam, a former airman opened fire with an assault rifle, beginning a rampage through the hospital that lasted less than ten minutes. The attack wounded members of the Moe family and killed Christin, one of several victims in Spokane’s deadliest shooting spree; the shooter was later killed during the rampage.

If anyone was at Fairchild’s medical facility that afternoon or knew Christin, are there memories or details to share that might help preserve her story?
