Katie Medley, Aurora Shooting Victim, Gives Birth

by at .

Finally some good news out of the tragedy in Aurora, Colorado:

Katie Medley, a movie goer who escaped unharmed from the horrific James Holmes last Friday, gave birth to a boy at the University of Colorado Hospital yesterday morning. He's named Hugo and both child and mother are reportedly doing well.

Tragically, however, Katie's husband Caleb was not as fortunate as his wife: also in attendance at The Dark Knight Rises showing, Caleb was shot in the head and remains in a medically-induced coma.

"He had some motion in his hands today," Seth Medley, Caleb's brother, told reporters at University Hospital Tuesday night. "His injuries are pretty serious. I don't want to get into any details, but there's some serious injuries around his face."

Seth referred the birth of his nephew as "a silver lining to a very dark cloud."

Due to Caleb's presumed recovery time, and the medical bills that are certain to add up, the family has set up a WePay account at calebmedley.com/help. We encourage all readers to donate whatever they can.

    You forgot to mention that they are uninsured. We can help with their medical bills from this tragedy, but who is paying for the little bundle of joy they just birthed?
