The niece of Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) was among more than 150 people killed in a crowd surge in South Korea over the weekend, according to the lawmaker’s office.
“Monica and I, and our entire family, are grieving the loss of our niece Anne Marie Gieske. She was a gift from God to our family. We loved her so much,” Wenstrup said in a statement.
The deadly crowd surge during a Halloween celebration in Seoul took the lives of at least 153 people, including 26 foreigners — two of whom were Americans. Another 133 people were injured, as of counts from Sunday evening.
