Story out of Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania:
From the day she was born with a congenital heart defect in May 2014, Willow Short and her family fought for her survival.
At 6 days old she received a life-saving heart transplant, followed by daily doses of a specialty drug to keep her body from rejecting the transplanted heart.
The Short family's struggles and triumphs were documented in local and national news stories. The most recent one, a New York Times article in 2015, described the family's difficulty navigating specialty pharmacies to obtain Willow's medication.
Willow, along with her sister, brother, and parents, were shot to death in an apparent murder-suicide, the Berks County, Pennsylvania, District Attorney said Sunday.
It's not clear whether Mark or Megan Short killed the rest of the family and their dog in what authorities are calling a "tragic domestic incident."
Officers responding to the family's Sinking Springs home found the bodies of Megan and Mark Short in the living room with 8-year-old Liana, 5-year-old Mark Jr. and 2-year-old Willow.
All died of gunshot wounds and a handgun was found near one of the adults. Cont. (Video/Autoplay)
