The Hill with appreciation to Weasel Zippers





. . . "Shaw created a GoFundMe page to raise money for the victims' families. It had raised nearly twice its $15,000 goal in just 19 hours. As of early Monday evening, the page had raised nearly $46,000.
“ 'Please take the time to donate as all of the proceeds will be given to the families,” the page reads. “Thank you again for your generosity and blessings!”
"More than 800 people have donated so far, with many praising Shaw’s courage in addition to expressing condolences for the victims.
“ 'Thank you for your bravery, Mr. Shaw,” one donor wrote. “You are the future of our country. Please take care of yourself to heal from your traumatic experience, and God bless you.”
"The suspected gunman, 29-year-old Travis Reinking, was captured by police Monday afternoon after a manhunt lasting more than 24 hours.
"The White House praised Shaw’s “heroic actions” during a press briefing Monday." . . .
