AURORA— Senator Morgan Carroll (D-Aurora), along with Representatives Su Ryden (D-Aurora), Rhonda Fields (D-Aurora), and Nancy Todd (D-Aurora), will host a town hall on September 20 to honor first responders to the Aurora theater shooting and connect the Aurora community with the local organizations that help keep the city safe and healthy. The Aurora Police Department, Aurora Fire Department, and Rural/Metro Ambulance will be honored for their life-saving efforts following the recent theater shooting. The community will also have the opportunity to speak directly to these and other organizations in Aurora that work to keep them safe. Each organization will host a booth where they will speak with community members and provide information about the different services they provide.
