The city of River Falls will host counseling staff from St. Croix County and PierceCounty Thursday afternoon, July 12. These professionals will offer support services for anyone in the community that has need for those services while coping with the tragedy of the three Schaffhausen sisters who were apparently murdered in their home Tuesday.

This will be a group forum, along with individual sessions as needed.

These sessions will be held from 2-4 p.m. Thursday, at City Hall, 222 Lewis Street. No appointment is necessary.

This is just one of many avenues for those dealing with the event.

Citizens are encouraged to take advantage of local clergy and other resources they feel will best

provide the services they need.

Some 300 people attended a Glen Park vigil Wednesday night, July 11, and raised more than $600. A big part of the turnout was made up of children with their parents.

Many kids were sobbing. During the vigil there was a moment of silence held for each of the three female victims.

More than $30,000 has been raised in eight hours Wednesday, July 11, by Paul Rode, of Hudson, a concerned father, on behalf of the Schaffhausen family.
