Kansas City journalist dies after being struck by bullet in her home

Aviva Okeson-Haberman joined KCUR in June 2019 as the Missouri politics and government reporter, having interned at the station a year earlier and impressed the newsroom with her work ethic, diligence, conscientiousness and eagerness to learn.Phil Helsel

"Aviva was a creative, thorough, challenging and insightful reporter. Always prepared, she told the full and complex story of our city in one of the most challenging years in its history," Lucas"Her death lays bare our gravest unsolved epidemic and the preventable tragedies too many families endure," he wrote.

“Aviva was brilliant,” KCUR news director Lisa Rodriguez said in the station's story about her death. “Even as an intern, her approach to storytelling and her ability to hold those in power accountable paralleled many a veteran reporter."

Sad news. But this happened ONE WEEK AGO. Is NBC News still using paper cups and string?

‘tear’

Missouri gov justice?

Geezus ! The least you could do is post some information of substance along with your nonsensical headline.

the same people that claim there was no voter fraud, blame russia like a cult for over 2 years just to cover up fact wesley clark 2007 warned iraq to syria is going to be destroyed, just look at all these senators that want to remain in syria

This is a weird fear of mine to just be shot out of nowhere in my home.

Ohmygosh! That’s horrible!

Peaceful protesters?

4.26.21

It was a mostly peaceful bullet fired during a mostly peaceful protest. Move along. Nothing to see here.

Stray bullet fired from outside her residence kills young, aspiring radio journalist. Hope they can determine where the bullet came from and who likely fired the weapon to determine cause. Maybe it was negligence. Maybe it was murder.

Sigh... what a waste of a beautiful life... enough is enough of gun violence

Let us guess, must have been an ar15.

😪

Well, didn't some famous demented figure declare that the media is the enemy of the people.

I USED TO BE IN KANSAS CITY, OUTLETS, MUSEUM, AND ZOO

in her own home ! this getting horribly and fatally absurd

💔

havent you gun owers killed enough innocent people with your love for guns. you love guns than the value of human life this is pure evil

Very sad. So much promise gone for no reason at all.

🙏

Tragic

Ummm... where did the bullet come from? Did her husband kill her? Was it a drive by? Was the bullet local or from out of town?🙄

If she only had a gun to protect herself this would've NEVER happened!

Way to not answer the ONLY question we want to know : Was it a stray bullet, or intentional?

It's called getting shot. She got shot in her home.

That seems pre meditated. What stories did she cover?
