Support Grows For Shooting Victims' Families

BEND, OR -- Friends and complete strangers are helping the families of the two men killed in Sunday’s shooting at Safeway.

As of Thurdasy morning, a GoFundMe page for Glenn Bennett - the 84-year-old shopper killed near the store entrance - had raised over $47,000 to help his elderly sister with funeral and living expenses. She is reportedly on a fixed income and Bennett was her primary source of financial support, according to information on the page.

More than $107,000 has come in to the GoFundMe page for Donald Surrett - the employee who attacked the gunman with a produce knife. He's credited with saving lives by slowing down the gunman as police entered the store. According to the GoFundMe page, the money raised will go to Surrett's widow who is on disability.
