'These are dark times for our community,' The lead pastor at Resurrection Lutheran Church, Ryan Bailey, put together a vigil to let the community know that they will get through this together.
GREENWOOD — Monday night, just 24 hours after two shootings in Central Indiana, a church that sits between Beech Grove and Greenwood opened its doors."There's an element of shock of course. But also, very sadly, an element of not being shocked because these shootings are happening with such regularity across the country. In any sort of setting as you can imagine that it seems like it's only a matter of time before it comes to a place that is close to you," Bailey said.
"It just seemed like there wasn't any space being provided at least that we were aware of that was giving people the opportunity to come together and express their grief," Bailey said. “It stresses me out a little bit seeing all of this, especially with the school shootings. You hear like chip bags popping open in the cafeteria, and everyone just kind of goes silent for a second thinking it could be gunshots. And it goes back to normal. Big crowds kind of scares me now,” Dougherty said.
