A donation fund has been created to help the victims and families of Sunday's deadly mass shooting in downtown Dayton.
Nonprofit Dayton Foundation has established the Dayton Oregon District Tragedy Fund.
"Our hearts go out to the victims and their families of this horrific event,” said Mike Parks, president of The Dayton Foundation, in a statement. “Many people want to reach out and help our friends, families and neighbors in the aftermath of this incident. Individuals who contribute to the Dayton Oregon District Tragedy Fund can be assured that their donations will be distributed safely and responsibly as we continue to work with local officials in the days ahead."
The foundation says it will waive the credit card processing fee so that 100% of the proceeds will go to those affected.
At least nine people were killed and 27 were wounded Sunday when Connor Betts opened fire in Dayton's Oregon District. Betts was shot and killed by police 24 seconds into the mass shooting.
