Ashley said that all the other girls she and Alaina were with were accounted for.
Alaina’s Apple Watch pinged from inside the club, and her aunt says they have not heard from her for seven hours. In an awful twist, Adam Housley was one of the reporters on the ground who covered the 2015 San Bernardino shooting, according to CBS 2 anchor Peter Daut.
