Illinois man puts crosses up for victims in Colorado theater



An Aurora, Illinois man is paying tribute to the 12 people killed in the mass shootings at a Colorado movie theater.

Greg Zanis went to Aurora, Colorado over the weekend to put up crosses about three-and-a-half-feet tall on a hill near the theater where the shootings occurred last week. Aurora, Colorado Mayor Steve Hogan placed his hand on one of the wooden crosses and prayed with Zanis.

The Illinois man had put 15 crosses near Columbine High School in Colorado after students were killed there in a massacre in 1999.
