The suite mate tweeted she'd been in contact with "Adam," Mowry-Housley's husband, and that their niece, Alaina Housley, was the only one unaccounted for from a group of girls who had gone to the bar that night, where a gunman opened fire, killing 12 people.
Yes, all the other girls are safe

A Los Angeles Times reporter, Andrea Castillo, shared on Twitter that she saw Housley visit the Los Robles Regional Medical Center looking for his niece.
"A guard didn’t let him through, saying it was on lockdown. He said Alaina, a Pepperdine freshman, was at the bar with several friends. Her Apple Watch and iPhone still showed her location on the dance floor," Castillo wrote.

Housley spoke with the LA Times, saying he feared the worst.
"My gut is saying she’s inside the bar, dead,” he said. “I’m hoping I’m wrong.”
On Twitter, he tried to remain positive. "Staying positive and praying and hoping and wishing there was more I could do," he wrote.
