FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Jessica Evers survived a shooting while still in the womb during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. John Cadiz Klemack reports.
Twenty years ago, amid the shock of the ongoing Los Angeles riots, there was a story that really grabbed headlines: The youngest victim of the violence had been shot while still in her mother’s womb.
On April 30, 1992, Elvira Evers, then 7 ½-months pregnant, watched her Compton block fill with vehicles laden with stolen loot. The nearby swap meet had turned into a free-for-all.
As she waited for her eldest son to come home that night, she pushed her 5-year-old daughter Nela into her home.
“I started getting nervous,” Elvira Evers said.

A minute later, she felt like her body was aflame. She’d been shot in the belly.
Amid the chaos occuring all over the South Los Angeles region, it would have taken 40 minutes for an ambulance to arrive, so a friend drove Evers to St. Francis Medical Center. She had an emergency caesarian section and didn’t wake up for a week.
When she finally opened her eyes, still in the hospital, she instantly began to cry.
“And I was just like, oh my God, my baby,” Evers said.
A nurse came to her side, asking, “Why are you crying?”
Evers thought she’d lost her baby. But she hadn’t, and the nurse took mother to child.
“I saw the baby and I touched her and I cried and I cried,” Evers said.
Today, Evers has a hidden mark from the 9 mm bullet that injured her. Her daughter, Jessica, now almost 20, has just a scar on her elbow.
Evers said the experience changed her, made her appreciate life more. Every year, every birthday, she remembers the riots and the circumstances of Jessica’s birth.
“I get sad. Because 20 years ago, I was supposed to be dead. So I have to give God thanks,” Elvira Evers said.
As for Jessica Evers, she feels her survival was for a purpose, one she’s still trying to understand.
“As each day goes by,” Evers said, “I try to find out what I’m here for.”
Despite her amazing story, Jessica said she doesn’t see herself as all that special.
“I’m innocent, but then again there are other innocent people that got hurt too,” she said.
Twenty years later, there’s one thing Jessica can say with confidence: “I’m still here.”
