State Representative Rhonda Fields, who serves the Aurora district in which last night’s tragedy unfolded, will be joining other community members and leaders at a vigil across the street from the Century 16 theater.

From Fields:

Dear Friends and Family,

At 2:30 a.m. this morning I learned of the horrific murders that occurred at Century 16 theater in the Aurora Town Center. This is less than 3 miles away from my home.

As a mother and survivor of a murder, I am horrified, shaken, and distressed over this enormous loss. It is time for us to collectively strategize to address preventative factors to ensure community safety and well-being. I will do everything possible to support the families, friends and community members whom have been impacted.

We’ve included a map of the Kaiser Permanente complex — catty-corner from the Century 16 theater where the shootings took place — below.
