Jewish center shooting By:Valerie Coahuilas


Just hours after her father and son were shot and killed in the parking lot of a Jewish community center in Overland Park, Kan., Mindy Corporon, spoke at a vigil for the victims Sunday night surprising mourners."I am the daughter of the gentleman who was killed and the mother of the son who was killed," Corporon said, eliciting a gasp from the crowd inside the United Methodist Church. "I was there before the police and I was there before the ambulance. And I knew immediately that they were in heaven, and I know that they're in heaven together."Her father, William Lewis Corporon, had driven her son, Reat Griffin Underwood, a 14-year-old high school freshman, to the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City to audition for "KC Superstar," an "American Idol"-style singing contest. Both were shot in a car William was driving.William Corporon died at the scene; Reat later died of his injuries
