(28,394 posts)1. There was a terrible shooting near our city about two years ago.
Several young women were shot at a fitness center. One of the women was uninsured and the community held fund-raisers for her medical treatment.
It could happen in CO too..... sadly.

Is there a crime victim's fund in CO? Even so, the medical costs will be high for some victims.
And most, even the unwounded, will suffer from post traumatic stress disorder.
