Residents of Maricopa paid tribute to 281 people who have been killed in mass shootings so far this year in the United States, including 27 dead in the span of 15 hours in Ohio and Texas. Organized by Vice Mayor Henry Wade at Copper Sky, the event Thursday was planned as “an effort to show solidarity, love, and unity for shooting victims, families, first responders and communities at large” in the 252 incidents.
