A public vigil for those killed during the Jan. 24 shooting will be held from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 28 at the Allen Street Gates.

Standing At The Gates For Justice, a local group, will host the vigil.

On its Facebook page, the group said, “Our weekly vigil will focus on the recent State College shooting. Join us as we remember, mourn and imagine a better world moving forward.”

Ben Wideman, campus pastor for 3rd Way Collective, is connected to the Standing at the Gates movement.

“Those of us who attend the weekly Standing at the Gates vigil thought it would be a simple act to name Monday’s vigil specifically in honor of this tragic event,” Wideman said via email. “There is a small group of folks at the Gates every Monday at 4 p.m., but when something significant like this takes place we try and highlight that as our focus. This particular incident feels far more intrusive and personal for our local community, so it seemed fitting to use that time on Monday for this reason.”
