Twilight Fan Hit By Car, Killed Outside Comic-Con
Be safe this week at Comic-Con, folks — according to reports out of San Diego, a 53-year-old woman who had been camping out with fellow Twilight fans ahead of Breaking Dawn's Thursday panel was struck and killed by a car while crossing the street near Hall H.
"Police said she was in a crosswalk and tried to run across Harbor about 9:20 a.m. She tried to stop when she saw an oncoming Subaru but ended up tripping into the car," reports the San Diego Union-Tribune.
The Examiner's Amanda Bell has more on the identity of the woman, known as Gisella G., whose death has shaken the Twilight community and those on the ground at Comic-Con. Police closed off portions of Harbor Blvd. this morning following the accident.
The death lends a somber mood to the event, which runs Thursday through Sunday, as thousands pour into downtown San Diego. Police and security are typically omnipresent inside and around the convention center directing foot traffic around the busy surrounding street and train crossings; take this as a reminder to be patient and safe around town — and be extra nice to those Twi-hards.

Wow... Twat much?
Are you seriously laughing that someone was killed? Why? just because they liked something that you dont? I hope karma has it's way with you. What a douchbag!
Sparkle splatter.
WOW, you are an asswhole.
Jesus Christ. I don't know what's worse- reducing a human being's life to the role of "Twilight Fan," or the fact that the internet's sociopathologizing tendency roots such comments out of "people."
Rest assured- if you posted a comment on here rooting for or mocking this woman's demise, I can guarantee you that half of your "friends," virtual and otherwise wish the same for you in your daily life.
Just remember that, dehumanized self-promotion-machines-formerly-known-as-people.
Don't feed the trolls.
