Crystal and Denver Dorrall's son Brandon was shot by bullies who fired 17 shots, leaving him severely injured. Simultaneously, their daughter Jocelyn, born with severe health issues and defying medical predictions, suffered a spinal infection while in the hospital. After receiving a troubling text from a nurse that read "Help," Crystal rushed to the hospital where she found out Jocelyn had passed away shortly after waking up and recognizing her parents. A memorial service for Jocelyn was held, and a GoFundMe page has been established to support the family's expenses.

The Dorrall family in Utah faced a series of tragedies when their son Brandon was shot in the neck by bullies looking for his younger brother Alex.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
