After losing a local hero, two young friends from Colorado channeled their grief into a fundraising drive. The girls, devastated by the fatal shooting of an Arvada police officer, opened a lemonade stand to raise money for the fallen officer’s family and raised almost $2,000.
Ashley Conn claimed her daughter Scarlett Reust, 9, struggled to make sense of the loss of Police Officer Gordon Beesley, who was fatally shot on June 21 by a suspect who “expressed a hatred for police,” according to a statement from the department.
