Neighbours of the New Zealand woman killed in America by armed attackers at a shopping mall say she was a doting grandmother who was visiting family when tragedy struck. Patricia (Trish) McKay, 68, was at Newport Beach, California, with her husband when the pair were accosted by two men at the upmarket Fashion Island. She died at the scene after being run over during a struggle in a botched robbery attempt, while her husband escaped uninjured.
