Though this will never bring back families’ loved ones, or erase the images out of the minds of survivors, there is some good news today for the Aurora, Colorado shooting victims. The families of the 12 people killed, along with those who suffered the most severe injuries in the attack, will get to split almost $5 million in donations raised after the July incident! The injury eligibility was based on how severe the damage was, ruling out those who were not hospitalized overnight and those that only site “severe stress” from the shooting. And the more severe the injury, the more they will be receiving. This is in no way to downplay anyone else’s issues stemming from that fateful night but with only a few million to go around, they do have to be fair. Aside from the 12 people killed, 58 people were wounded and tons more (likely all) with mental trauma. Hopefully more money will be available to them soon. Marisa Mendez
