One of the three victims killed in the shooting Friday at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado is from the islands, her family has confirmed.

Family members identified the woman as Jennifer Markovsky, a 1997 Waianae High School graduate.

They said Markovsky was accompanying a friend who had an appointment at the clinic in Colorado Springs. The friend suffered a gunshot wound to the hand.

"The family is grieving. We're all shocked," one of Markovsky's relatives said.

On Facebook, Markovsky's father, John Ah King mourned his daughter's loss.

"Life was too short my beloved daughter," he wrote. "I was waiting to see you soon."
