ATLANTA — The family of 39-year-old Amy St. Pierre, who was killed in a mass shooting in an Atlanta medical center waiting room on Wednesday, is speaking out about their profound loss.
"Our beloved Amy was brilliant, kind, big-hearted and simply the 'best of the best,'" her family said in a statement."Loving wife and mother of two, middle sister to two brothers, and cherished daughter, she was truly our pride and joy."
St. Pierre worked at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Division of Reproductive Health, according to CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky. Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra said in a statement Thursday,"Our hearts go out to her husband Julian St. Pierre, her children, and all her loved ones at this difficult time. Amy had been a public servant at CDC for several years and exemplified the values of our agency -- her work focusing on improving maternal health.""Family oriented -- that's what we both have in common. Family came first," she added.
