During the shooting, the couple got separated when Vinnie went to help victims and told Stacee to get to safety.



Following the shooting, the officer couldn't locate his wife. Her family checked all the hospitals before Vinnie reluctantly went to the morgue.

"And the lady put her pen down and said, 'I'll be right back.' She knew. She knew. She went back. She came back with a picture of Stacee and it was just, it's heart-wrenching. It was really, really heart-wrenching," said the victim's father, Greg Rodriguez.
