The killing has shocked the tiny island of Yap, home to 11,000 people, where Bergeron served as acting attorney general of Yap State. “Yap’s spirit is broken and our pride and reputation is tarnished,” Constantine Yowbalaw, the director of youth and civic affairs for Yap State, said in a statement. Bergeron had been shot in her upper leg and her upper chest and was unconscious, Collins said. Collins said that he doesn’t know who shot Bergeron but that some of those she had prosecuted might hold grudges. Her husband is a pilot with Pacific Mission Aviation, a Christian missionary organization in the region where Collins also works.
