A trust fund has been set up to support the surviving children of Angie Sweeney, one of the victims killed in the murder-suicide rampage that has devastated the community.

Below is the full statement released by Sweeney's family:

Nobody is prepared or deserving of the events that occurred on October 23, 2023. Four innocent lives were taken and the ripples of this tragic event spread far and wide. Angie Sweeney was a force with a genuine heart of gold. More importantly, Angie was a mother and a protector.

To honour Angie and assist her children Emma and Wyatt, a trust fund has been created to help ease some of the burdens ahead. As friends and family of this beautiful woman, we are hoping that you will consider contributing any amount you can. Email transfers can be sent to [email protected] if you are able or wanting to offer a donation.

We are aware that a GoFundMe has also been created and it is appreciated. The trust was created simultaneously at the family’s wishes and in no way meant to make anyone feel conflicted. All donations are appreciated.

The Sweeney family would like to express their gratitude for the kind thoughts, pictures, and words of strength they have received thus far. Please continue to support the family on the journey/fight ahead. Angie’s Angels are about to get loud.
