Families: Audit Colo. massacre money

Relatives of victims killed in the July 20 movie theater massacre in Aurora, Colo., want the state’s secretary of state and attorney general to investigate charities that raised money in the wake of the shootings.

In a letter delivered Tuesday to both offices, the family members, which include Scott and Kathleen Larimer of Crystal Lake, asked for an investigation into Giving First/Community First Foundation for alleged violations of the Colorado Charitable Solicitations Act.

“It is additionally requested that all persons within the state of Colorado cease and desist from using the names and photos of any victim of this shooting in the solicitation of funds or contributions, without first having obtained written permission from the victim or victim’s family,” according to the letter by the group’s attorney, Jerome Malman.
