Authorities said Kopf was shot by Jason Brian Dalton during a five-hour shooting spree February 20, 2016 in between picking up fares as an Uber driver.

Six people were killed as Dalton fired from his car. Authorities said that he switched vehicles in the middle of the attack and continued to shoot victims.

Since then, Abbie has been through numerous surgeries, and has suffered setbacks over the last year.
