What we know about the 5 victims of Midtown medical building shooting

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - We are learning more about the five victims of a mass shooting at a medical building in Midtown Atlanta Wednesday.

Fulton County medical officials identified 38-year-old Amy St. Pierre as the victim who was killed at the Midtown Atlanta medical center. Atlanta News First learned later she was a mother of two from Atlanta. The four other injured victims have been identified as Lisa Glynn, Georgette Whitlow, Jazzmin Danie, and Alesha Hollinger.

The shooting happened just after noon in the waiting room of Northside Medical Midtown at 1100 West Peachtree Street. Officials quickly identified 24-year-old Deion Patterson as the shooter and say that he was at an appointment when he became agitated, pulled out a gun, opened fire, and left prompting a manhunt.

The Chief Medical Officer at Grady Hospital Robert Jansen said during a press conference that two of the victims needed surgery two of whom are expected to transfer to the ICU.

The husband of shooting victim Alesha Hollinger released the following statement on May 9:

We will never understand so many of the “why’s” of this heart-breaking situation. But what we do clearly see is how many loving friends are willing to do anything in their power to help us and show their support, and it fills our hearts.
First and foremost, we are unbelievably blessed to have Alesha with us and have had so many miraculous progressions in this journey. Right now, as I write this, we have just learned that Alesha’s progress may allow her to come home in the next 4-5 days! As we look ahead, various medical procedures are being explored to help Alesha return to full strength over the next year (amen!). And we will be there to support her in every step of her recovery.
I’m sure you can understand that we were initially resistant to the idea of a GoFundMe campaign. When close friends can think clearer on our behalf while we are immersed in the immediate trauma, they look out for you for what lies ahead. And there were many that wanted to do this for us, so I decided to support this approach.
The overwhelming response on this forum to support Alesha and the family through this tragic event has touched us all. We have also had some family/friends reach out to confirm that their donations would be used on Alesha’s behalf since it was mentioned that this was an effort that would benefit all of the victims. I will say that including all the victims was at my request to my friend Dave Sinclair (college friend/roommate/lacrosse teammate) who set this up for us. But please know this effort is for Alesha first and foremost. It will be at her discretion and hers only, as this is not an effort being coordinated with the other families. At the same time please understand that as part of her healing process Alesha has expressed her desire to also show her love and support to others, and she is just that kind of person (which we already know).

A GoFundMe has been set up to help the Hollinger family.

Currently, the surviving victims are at Grady Hospital recovering from their injuries, two are in stable condition and the other two are in critical condition.

This incident remains under investigation.
