FurFest organizers said in the statement that neither they nor the hotel would offer refunds because the incident was "an unforeseen criminal act."



Still, organizers said in the statement late Sunday morning that the FurFest would go on.



"As we wake up today we want to continue to provide the best possible convention that we can, despite the trying circumstances," according to the statement. "We ask you to continue to be patient, and remember that the volunteers who make Midwest FurFest happen intend to give 110% to make sure that the fun, friendship, and good times of Midwest FurFest 2014 overshadow last night's unfortunate incident."
