Her other sister, 6-year-old Evelyn, was taken to University Hospital but is in stable condition.

Emily was part of the three generations of one family that was killed in the shooting.

KSAT interviewed Emily’s aunt, Torie McCallum, who is a first responder.

“I made it to the scene to see if I could see who was flown out and who was taken, if they had a list,” McCallum said.

A fellow medic and co-worker were able to identify one of McCallum’s nieces.

“I showed him a picture of my niece, Emily, and he said that was her,” McCallum said.

McCallum waited for hours before authorities began to remove the bodies from the church and she was able to see Crystal, Megan and Greg.

“I wanted to see them out. I didn’t want to leave. I wanted to see them get out of that church,” McCallum said.
