On Monday, Feb. 25, employees were back on the job at Henry Pratt Co., just 10 days after five people were killed in a mass shooting at the plant.
According to the Chicago Tribune, a crew of counselors, including comfort dogs were seen leaving the building to head down toward the factory.
The company announced over the weekend that it created the Aurora/Pratt Survivor’s Fund through the National Compassion Fund, with support from GoFundMe and Mueller Water Products, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Mueller Water Products will contribute to the fund and cover all administrative fees. More information on the fund can be found on the website here.
The Aurora Police Department has also released the 911 call from after the shooting at the Henry Pratt Co. building in Aurora, Ill.
According to ABC 7, the call is as follows:
911 dispatcher: "If you hear anything or see anything, I want you to tell me, OK?"
Caller: "OK, I'm hiding in a completely separate room now. I can't even see anything or hear anything. I'm not taking any chances here."
911 dispatcher: "Can you hear anything?"
Caller: "No."
911 dispatcher: "I have officers there." Pause. "No, it is not secure. This guy is not in custody. Nobody moves any further, OK?"
Caller: "OK."
911 dispatcher: "Do not give him a target. Nobody moves."
According to ABC 7, the department said it released the audio to be transparent and honor the first responders who helped save lives.
Six Aurora police officers were hurt while responding to the shooting. According to ABC 7, they’re all doing okay.
"I'm very proud of our officers. We were following our training. We learned from other mass shootings that you can't sit outside and wait for the gunman to come out. By then it's too late," said Sgt. Bill Rowley, spokesman for the Aurora police.
In a Facebook post on Monday, the department released the officers’ names and photos.
