The Colorado Springs community is reeling following a mass shooting at a family birthday party early on Mother’s Day. Colorado Springs police say a gunman shot and killed six people before turning the gun on himself. Several children, some as young as 2, 5 and 11, have now lost one or both of their parents.
The victims were identified as Jose Gutierrez, 21, Jose Ibarra, 26, Sandra Ibarra, 28, Melvin Perez, 30, Mayra Perez, 33, and Joana Cruz, 52.
CHF is led by Coloradans with experience dealing with mass violence, like former Columbine principal Frank DeAngelis.
“With tragedies like this where parents are taken from their children too soon, we must think of how we can continue to support the children years from now, as they continue to grow,” DeAngelis said. “As I said all too recently, recovery from a mass shooting is a marathon, not a sprint. I’m so thankful that CHF can help address the emotional needs that come out of a tragedy like this.”
