William Cho, age 6, was at the mall with his mother, father, and brother when the gunfire erupted. William is the sole survivor in his family -- his mother Cindy, father Kyu, and 3-year-old brother James were all killed in the attack. Witnesses said William's mother died trying to shield him from the gunfire.
A representative for the Cho family released the following statement on Wednesday.
"Our hearts are broken for our beloved family members who are no longer with us. We are deeply grateful and sincerely appreciate the outpouring of support and prayers. William is recovering well. All of our attention is now focused on ensuring William leads a happy, healthy life with his extended family who love him dearly. We ask that you respect and honor our family’s privacy in the coming days and weeks so that we may mourn and honor our loved ones’ legacies and lives. We are not considering any media interviews at this time. With deep-felt appreciation, William's family."
A memorial service for the Cho family is scheduled for Thursday night.
