One Aurora parent spoke to FOX31 days after the Northfield mall takeover while his daughter remained hospitalized with severe head injuries. She had been practicing for the takeover with friends when she suffered the injuries, according to her father.
“No parent thinks when their 14-year-old asks, can they go to the movies, can they go out to eat or can they go to Elitch Gardens with their friend, it’s going to turn out to something like this,” the parent said.
Now the Aurora Police Department says that another takeover is planned for the Town Center this weekend, which is located on East Alameda Avenue, and the agency says it is operating under a zero-tolerance approach.
