Her father told The Denver Post, "She was the most lovable person. So kind-hearted, just always there when I needed her. I couldn't believe it. I just messaged her Thursday to say Happy Thanksgiving."

The other two victims have been identified as 29-year-old Army veteran and father Ke'Arre Stewart and 44-year-old police officer and father Garrett Swasey.

The gunman, 57-year-old Robert Lewis Dear, surrendered hours after the shooting began and remains in custody.
