🙏 Thoughts and support

This is deeply tragic. My heart goes out to Levi, Silas, Kimber’s family, and all of those affected. It’s horrible to see young lives shattered like this.
If you or someone you know is connected to the victims and could use support or resources (medical, legal, emotional), I can help look up local groups in Jefferson County who are assisting families of gun-violence victims.
