A 13-year-old girl who attended the deadly screening of The Dark Knight Rises is being hailed for her attempts to save 6-year old Veronica Moser-Sullivan, reports CBS News. Kaylan, whose mother didn't want her last name used, went to the movies with four friends, including Veronica and her mom. Three of them were shot in the rampage by suspected shooter James Holmes. Rather than running away, however, Kaylan gave Veronica CPR until the police arrived. "I'm still in shock. I don't think that it's hit me yet what I've been through," says Kaylan, who wasn't harmed in the attack. (More Dark Knight massacre stories.)
