Wesley LePatner, killed in Midtown Manhattan shooting, is mourned as a ‘uniquely brilliant’ Jewish leader

JL;DR SUMMARY Wesley LePatner, a prominent Jewish community leader and senior executive at Blackstone, was tragically killed in a mass shooting at her Midtown Manhattan office.

But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
