Tuft survived a 2007 mass shooting in Utah and said she has lead poisoning from shotgun pellets still in her body, leaving her with debilitating headaches, nausea and other serious health problems. Tuft, whose 15-year-old daughter died in the Trolley Square mall shooting in Salt Lake City, has been unable to work, resulting in the loss of her home and business, she told The Associated Press.
