A woman who was shot in the Aurora, Colo., theater shooting rampage has suffered a miscarriage, her family said.

Ashley Moser, the mother of the youngest victim killed in the shooting, was pregnant and was shot in the neck and stomach during the attack July 20. The family said the trauma that Moser sustained caused a miscarriage and that she underwent more surgery on Saturday morning.

Moser, 25, is being treated at Aurora Medical Center.

The family released the following statement:

Ashley Moser is recovering from an additional surgery she had this morning. Tragically, the extreme trauma she sustained also caused a miscarriage.
