American lawyer fatally shot in Pacific nation of Micronesia, officials say

An American lawyer was shot and killed on the Pacific nation of Micronesia on Monday evening, officials said.

Rachelle Bergeron was shot as she returned home from her daily jog on the tiny island of Yap, where she served as acting attorney general of Yap State. Her husband was home at the time and called police, according to Yap State Gov. Henry Falan. Bergeron was rushed to a local hospital where she died. The fatal shooting is under investigation, according to Falan.

"Yap's spirit is broken by this senseless and heinous act," the governor said in a video statement Tuesday."I promise to do everything in my power to have justice prevail." Bergeron, a Wisconsin native, first moved to the Federated States of Micronesia in 2015 to take a job as the assistant attorney general of Yap State. She had previously practiced law in Washington, D.C., New York City and India, according to a press release from the Yap State government.

After what trump did to the Kurds and all our allies, it's now open season on Americans. It probably won't end until a proper State department is reconstituted.

American lawyer shot and killed as she returned home from her daily jog in Micronesia. 🇫🇲🙁😢

I usually just jog around the block

My husband insists that I must not jog alone. I argued at first, then realised he was right. The list of lone women attacked out jogging is a very long one. Take a man along, two if you have them ! Women, even two together, turn into targets once they pull on jogging pants...

My deepest condolences to her family, friends, and her husband😥 May you rest in love and peace.

God be with her family and friends. May God hold them and give them peace in dealing with this tragic loss.
