Our community experienced a terrible tragedy on Friday, February 15 when five people were killed and five Aurora police officers were injured in the workplace shooting at Henry Pratt Co. in Aurora, IL.
This tragedy has truly impacted our entire region and we have learned that the victims are from several communities throughout our local area. As the community college for many of these communities, we mourn with every resident and every leader.
We want to recognize the bravery and selflessness of the police officers who ran directly into danger and saved many lives. We cannot thank these heroes enough for what they did yesterday and every day that they serve.
Though we may live and work in different areas, we are all part of #OneAurora. Our sincerest prayers and deepest sympathies are with the victims, their families and their loved ones.
