The story

On 19 May 1983, at approximately 10:48 p.m, Diane Downs drives to McKenzie-Willamette Hospital in Springfield, Oregon with a gunshot wound to her arm. She claims that an unknown assailant attempted to carjack her and shot her three children: Karen, 8, Shauna, 7, and Robby, 3. Her eldest daughter Karen suffers a temporary loss of speech due to a stroke after the shooting but recovers sufficiently to serve as a witness in court against her mother; her youngest daughter Shauna was dead on arrival, and Diane's son is paralyzed due to the gunshot.
