KALAMAZOO (WKZO-AM) — Nearly a year after she was wounded, the youngest survivor of Kalamazoo’s deadly mass shooting last year has just come through her latest surgery.
The goal of the surgery was to install a second plate Abigail Kopf’s head to cover the gap in her skull left by a bullet, allegedly fired by Jason Dalton.
Four other women Kopf was with that night at the Cracker Barrel in Texas Township did not survive.
An infection in the first attempt to do this surgery resulted in a setback for the 15-year-old from Battle Creek.
This procedure went well according to the doctor who performed the surgery at Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo.
The incision will have to completely heal before Kopf can resume normal activities, including going back to class at Harper Creek Middle School.
