Orange County will provide up to $150,000 to aid local victims of a series of shootings at half a dozen 7-Eleven stores across Southern California on July 11—affecting three cities in the county—leaving three dead and three injured.

The county Board of Supervisors unanimously voted on July 19 to use funds from the discretionary budgets of the affected county districts for a relief fund to help pay for medical bills and funeral expenses.
