A Boulder, Colorado grocery store became the scene of a mass shooting Monday night after a 21-year-old man killed ten people, according to CNN.

Shortly following the incident, lifelong Boulder resident Ryan Van Duzer, in cooperation with the admin for the "bouldercolorado" Instagram account, started a GoFundMe to support the families of the victims.
