SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Karin Dalton was a devoted mother and she was protecting her children when she was shot and killed after a gunman opened fire last week inside a Greyhound bus in Northern California.
"She died protecting her children," said Amy Logue, Dalton's cousin. "There were multiple wounds, and it was all in the name of protection."
The Butte County Sheriff's Office on Friday identified Dalton, 43, of Seattle, as the victim killed in Wednesday's mass shooting on a bus in Oroville. She was among five people struck by gunfire, including her 11-year-old daughter who was recovering in a hospital Friday, Dalton's family said.
