On a summer day in June 1994, 8-year-old Christin F. McCarron was killed during a shooting at the Fairchild Air Force Base hospital in Washington. Christin, a Caucasian female, was with her babysitters in the hospital cafeteria when 20-year-old former airman Dean A. Mellberg entered and began shooting. She was one of four people fatally wounded; 22 others were wounded in the attack.

Mellberg had been discharged from the Air Force the month before after concerns about his mental health. He specifically targeted the psychiatrist and psychologist who recommended his discharge, killing them in the hospital annex before moving through the main hospital and firing at others. Senior Airman Andrew P. Brown fatally shot Mellberg outside the hospital, ending the rampage; there were no subsequent arrests or other suspects.

Does anyone have memories of Christin or information about that day that could add to the record?
