Victor Gomez, who was gunned down while his wife and three children were unharmed nearby at an Indiana shopping mall, is remembered as a dedicated, hard-working family man and entrepreneur.

Gomez’s aunt, Maria Zaragoza, told The Epoch Times that while Gomez’s wife and children were in a women’s restroom, Gomez had been in the men’s restroom, where police said the gunman spent an hour, presumably preparing for the shooting.
