Community to hold vigil for Greenwood Park Mall shooting victims Friday

Local faith leaders and Greenwood officials are partnering to hold a prayer vigil in response to the shooting at the Greenwood Park Mall on Friday.

The vigil will be held at 7 p.m. Friday at the Greenwood Amphitheater, 100 Surina Way. Mayor Mark Myers is expected to speak, as well as pastors and leaders from the surrounding churches and faith communities, according to Greenwood United Methodist Church.

Those who attend are encouraged to bring their own seating, as the amphitheater is lawn seating only.

Myers also ordered flags to be flown at half-staff to honor the lives lost. Flags will be at half-staff until Saturday at dusk. He is encouraging residents to lower their flags during this time as well.
