Rebecca Wingo lived in Hawaii for several years while she was stationed here in the Air Force. She is one of 12 people killed in the deadly theater shooting.
According to WOAI, Rebecca had left the military and had settled in Aurora, Colorado with her two young daughters.
Wingo’s father, Steve Hernandez, posted the following message on his Facebook page:
“I lost my daughter yesterday to a mad man, my grief right now is inconsolable, I hear she died instantly, without pain, however the pain is unbearable. Lord why, why, why????”
Friends who stayed in touch with Wingo after she left Hawaii share their memories of her, tonight on the KHON2 News at Five and Six.

Warner Brothers studio will make a donation to the charities that are supporting victims of the Aurora, Colo. mass shooting, according to the Hollywood Reporter, Variety, and E! Online websites.
The studio will contribute to a fund known asgivingfirst.org, an arm of Colorado’s Community First Foundation. Some of the non-profits working with that umbrella group are the Aurora Mental Health Center, the Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance and the Bonfils Blood Center Foundation. For the full list, click here.
The NY Daily News reported yesterday that fund had so far raised $32,000 for those non-profits, as of Sunday evening.
Colo. Gov. John Hickenlooper has said that through his sources he will match the donations that go to givingfirst.org, reported the NY Daily News.
“The Dark Knight Rises” emerged atop the box office this weekend, despite the tragic theater massacre. The Christopher Nolan-directed film raked in a record-setting amount of over $160 million.
That is the third biggest debut on record for a 2-D film. “The Avengers” earned $200.3 million in its opening weekend, but was also shown in 3-D, which rakes in more cash due to higher ticket prices.
Did you expect the studio to make a donation?
Commentary: It's very sad what occurred in Aurora, Colorado to completely innocent bystanders attending the premiere of Batman. What Warner Brothers is doing is very honorable in light of this unfortunate tragedy. There will be countless theories bouncing around on tv, talk radio shows on why this happened. Gun control nuts are already screaming for tighter gun laws, despite the fact that Aurora has strict gun laws on the books. This story almost brings back memories from the tragedy that occurred at Va. Tech University several years ago. The court case of James Holmes is going to be most interesting once it takes place.
