DENVER (KDVR) — Days after a shooting rocked Evergreen High School, the community is coming together to rally around the victims and students at the school.

Beau Jo’s is already a popular spot for pizza, but guests over the last few days have shown up for a good cause as well, raising money for Jeffco Public Schools. Victim injured in Evergreen High School shooting identified

Beau Jo’s employee Nataly Gutierrez loves Evergreen.

“It’s a small mountain community, we’re all in this together,” said Gutierrez.

An Evergreen High School graduate, she was devastated to hear the news of the shooting this week.

“I live down in Golden and I came up here for a safer community, and it’s really sad that had to happen up here,” said Gutierrez.

Not everyone here is from Evergreen, or even Colorado. Emme West and her family are visiting from Texas and just arrived in town earlier Saturday, happy to help after learning about the shooting on the news back home.

“When we walked in, they told us about the fundraiser, so we decided to support the business,” said West.

A current high schooler herself, West hopes Evergreen’s students are able to make the difficult transition back to school.

“Just be kind to everyone so nobody feels the need to do those types of things,” said West.
