OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — It was 14 years ago when Doris Battle’s parents were killed in the Oklahoma City bombing, just two of the 168 people who died during the nation’s worst domestic terrorist attack. “I can’t go home and see him anymore,” Battle said of her father, Calvin Battle, who died with her mother Peola when the Oklahoma City federal building was bombed on April 19, 1995. And Battle said the passage of time has not diminished the loss she still feels. Battle was among 400 people who gathered Sunday to observe the 14th anniversary of the bombing of the nine-story Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, an attack that also injured hundreds of people. ——Contact The Daily Reveille’s news staff at [email protected]
