15-year-old Gracie Anne Muehlberger and 14-year-old Dominic Blackwell were memorialized by their friends Sunday at Santa Clarita's Central Park.
Thousands of Santa Clarita residents gathered for a candlelight vigil Sunday night — an evening of memories, music and worship — to honor the two students killed in the shooting at Saugus High School.
Mourners crowded on sidewalks, many wearing “Saugus strong” jackets and shirts and carrying blue glow-stick like candles. The neighborhood streets were jammed for about a mile around the 130-acre park, a popular community gathering spot just down the street from the high school. The evening opened much like a church service with prayer and a band playing and singing contemporary Christian songs.
