Jo Acker, RIP
Jo Acker, a 26-year-old transgender woman, was tragically killed last week in a shooting at the Boise Towne Square mall in Idaho, reports LGBTQ Nation.
According to Acker’s family, she was working at the mall as a security guard and died a hero, rushing at the shooter to try to stop him from hurting others.
“She was confronting the suspect. She was helping people be safe and get out of the way and they shot at her,” Ray Dawn, Acker’s longtime partner, told the Idaho Statesman. “I was told she was helping people and saving them… I know she would have wanted to make everyone else safe. She would have been the first one to go down to confront somebody.”
