Rochester , N.Y. — Around 50 people gathered in Maplewood Park to reclaim and sanctify the space in the days following Sunday, July 28th's mass shooting.

"A lot of people probably wouldn't want to come back to this space," said Leslie Gordon Ogden. "People want to find peace somewhere. So to reclaim this space is to say it's okay to be in this space again." Reverend Myra Brown of Spiritus Christi organized the gathering, hoping reclaiming and sanctifying the park would help the community move forward.

Gail Burkes, who said she knew some of those at the park on Sunday, leans on her faith as she reconciles with what happened.
