BUFFALO, Minn. — A moment of silence will be held Tuesday morning to mark one week since a Minnesota man allegedly walked into a health clinic northwest of Minneapolis and opened fire, killing one staff member and injuring four others.
Allina Health says it is inviting communities across Minnesota to participate in activities on Tuesday, including a moment of silence at 11 a.m., just after the shooting took place.
The health system also says Minnesotans can show their solidarity and support by wearing purple, which is the color of the Buffalo community, or displaying purple lights.
Purple light displays are planned throughout the city of Buffalo, at Allianz Field in St. Paul, and other greater Twin Cities landmarks.
Thirty-eight year old wife and mother of two Lindsay Overbay was killed in the shooting. Friends described her as an "amazing mother" who lived and breathed for her children. Her husband Donnie told KARE 11 that it will be tough for he and his two kids to move forward without Lindsay, but says he'll find healing through the support of family and community.
According to the website Buffalo Strong, the four other people injured in the attack are Antonya Fransen-Pruden, Jen Gibson, Tammy Schauffler and Sherry Curtis.
GoFundMe pages have been set up to raise money for Antonya, Jen, Tammy and Sherry and their families as they continue to recover.
The suspect in the case, Gregory Ulrich, 67, is charged with murder, attempted murder and other counts in connection with the Feb. 9 attack. He will be back in Wright County District Court next month for a bail hearing.
