Jamie Guttenberg: 14-year-old victim 'probably had been kind to the student who shot her'

The granddaughter and niece of an Amberley Village family was one of the 17 students and teachers killed in the shooting at a Parkland, Florida, school Wednesday.

Jamie Guttenberg, 14, is the granddaughter of Ethel and Marvin Guttenberg and the niece of Dr. Abbie and John Youkilis of Amberley Village.

On Facebook, Abbie Youkilis described her niece as an intelligent and feisty girl who wanted to be a mother and an occupational therapist.

"She was a pretty girl with the world’s best smile and her soul was sensitive and compassionate," Youkilis said. "She always looked out for the underdog and the bullied and she probably had been kind to the student who shot her."

In an email sent to members of the Southwest Ohio Democratic Jewish Caucus, representatives said funeral arrangements for Jamie have not yet been posted.

Jamie Guttenberg was one of the first victims identified, USA Today reported. Her Facebook profile has already been turned into a memorial site. Her parents posted frantic messages on social media seeking help in finding their "baby girl," but later confirmed she died in the shooting.

“My heart is broken. Yesterday, Jennifer Guttenberg and I lost our baby girl to a violent shooting at her school,” Jaime’s father, Fred Guttenberg, told friends on Facebook. “We lost our daughter and my son Jesse Guttenberg lost his sister. I am broken as I write this trying to figure out how my family gets through this.”

At the vigil, Fred Guttenberg said he can't remember if he got to tell his daughter that he loved her the day of the shooting, Fox News reported.

At a memorial vigil on Thursday night in Florida, Guttenberg reminded parents how precious life is: "Don't ever ever miss the chance to tell them how much you love them," he said.

Jamie Guttenberg's brother Jesse was also a student at the school. On Facebook, the family posted that he was OK.

In her post, Youkilis criticised those who defend the second amendment after shootings.

"Why is your hunting hobby more important than my niece’s life? Don’t you see that your 'second amendment' rights have been twisted and distorted beyond any rational interpretation? Why should my niece have been sacrificed at the altar of your “freedoms?" Youkilis wrote.

The Southwest Ohio Democratic Jewish Caucus said there are no words for the shooting or for the justification for guns.

"It has come to the attention of the Jewish community worldwide that a large percent of the victims, at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, were Jewish and that the gunman had trained with a white supremacist group," said Julie Brook of the Southwest Ohio Democratic Jewish Caucus. "May Jamie’s memory and all those lost this week be a blessing to their loved ones and the world," Brook said.
