Alaina Housley, a Pepperdine University student, was among those killed last night during a mass shooting at the Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Housley, 18, is the niece of former Fox News correspondent Adam Housley.
“Our hearts are broken,” Adam Housley and his wife Tamera Mowry-Housley wrote in a statement. “Alaina was an incredible young woman with so much life ahead of her and we are devastated that her life was cut short in this manner. We thank everyone for your prayers and ask for privacy at this time.”
Earlier in the day, Housley, who left Fox News in August, had expressed hope his niece survived.
Staying positive and praying and hoping and wishing there was more I could do. https://t.co/sp9I9dLXsq

Housley also responded to one person on Twitter who perversely contorted his former role at Fox News with the massacre.
I was waiting for the assholes to appear. Please do me a favor and introduce yourself in person and see what the result will be. https://t.co/IDannyW5wA
