Buffalo woman in grave but stable condition after Papal shooting
Ann Odre, 58, a Buffalo widow, remained in very grave condition in Santo Spirito Hospital Rome after Pope John Paul II was shot in St. Peter's Square. Doctors in Italy listed her as stable though detailed injuries included a lung diaphragm and possible abdominal damage with internal bleeding. Her son-in-law Dr. Thomas Kenjarski, who treated her, reported the bullet pierced multiple organs. Odre had flown with other Buffalo pilgrims and was photographed during the pontiff's ride.
