The father of a seven-year-old girl, Olivia Blackmer, has broken his silence after she passed away following a tragic murder-suicide involving her mother.
On Saturday afternoon (February 15), Olivia succumbed to her injuries. It had been five days since she was rushed to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the head, which was inflicted by her mother, Tranyelle Harshman.
Harshman, 32 years old, had called 911 before shooting Olivia and her sisters. She then turned the gun on herself and later died from her injuries in the hospital. Olivia’s 9-year-old sister, Brailey, and her two-year-old stepsisters, Brooke and Jordan, all lost their lives at the crime scene in Wyoming on February 10.
Olivia, however, managed to survive initially and was taken to a local hospital. Subsequently, she was airlifted to another facility for further treatment. Her father, Quinn Blackmer, confirmed her death. In the wake of this heart-wrenching loss, he took to Facebook to share a deeply emotional statement.
