The Walt Disney Company has confirmed that one employee from the Disneyland Resort was among the nearly 60 people killed in Sunday night's terror attack in Las Vegas, and another employee was injured but survived. Disney CEO Bob Iger issued a statement Monday evening regarding the two women:

"Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by the tragic events in Las Vegas – the victims of violence, the witnesses, and the friends and families mourning loved ones. We are especially heartbroken over the loss of one of our own to this unconscionable and senseless act. Carrie Barnette had been a member of the Disney California Adventure culinary team for ten years and was beloved by her friends and colleagues. Our thoughts are with her family, along with our support, during this incredibly difficult time. Another valued Disney cast member, Jessica Milam, was also seriously injured and we are praying for her recovery."

Disneyland Resort President Michael Colglazier also issued the following statement,

“We mourn the loss of our Cast Member, Carrie Barnette, and we offer our most heartfelt condolences to her family, fellow Cast Members, friends and loved ones as well as all who were affected by this senseless act.”
