It was standing room only as a local soldier was laid to rest. Veteran Vanessa Lyn Alcorte was a resident of Lubbock and served in the US Army for 11 years, completing three tours in Iraq.
"If you ask her for a glass of water, she will give it to you. you ask her for the clothes on her back, she will give it to you," said mother Graciala Quintana. "She went and fought overseas, but she couldn't survive her own city."
"She was an amazing mom, an amazing friend," said one of Alcorte's former roommates and friends Mary Vasquez.
"Vanessa was an amazing person and a lot of people didn't get to see that side of her, but she was a strong person, she was a mother, she loved her life," added another friend Samantha Hardeman.

Lubbock Police Sergeant Jason Lewis said LPD received the initial calls about shots being fired at approximately 6:30 pm.
