A wave of grief has spread around the state after the deadly shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs this weekend.
More than a dozen vigils and gatherings are already planned this week to mourn those killed and to help others heal. Participants can offer prayers, reflect, share their feelings or sit in silence at some events. At others, there will be songs, letter writing, poster making or other activities. Several have virtual options.
Here’s a list of events beginning late Monday afternoon. This is a growing list. Is there an event you know about that isn’t listed below? Email [email protected].
