If you check out www.concealcarry.org/memorial you can read about the senseless murders of Timme and Vickie Le. The family has set up a fund to support their two children aged 18 months and 3 months. The 3 month was in the car when Vickie and Timme were murdered, but thankfully survived.
It occured to me to send a check and let the family know we were working toward a concealed carry law to prevent these tragedies in the future. Some of you may be similarly inclined.

Slain couple's friends set up fund for kids
June 18, 2002
BY ANNIE SWEENEY STAFF REPORTER
As police continued searching Monday for clues about why a young North Side couple was found shot to death last week inside their sport-utility vehicle, a fund was established for the two children orphaned by the murders.
Timme and Vickie Le were found early Friday morning, their bodies slumped to the passenger side of their BMW, parked the wrong way in the 3100 block of West Jerome. The vehicle was across the street from the home of the children's grandmother.
The couple's 3-month-old daughter, Mia, was unharmed in the back seat. Officials said the couple had been expected to drop off the baby with the grandmother.
Timme Le, 31, had been shot in the hand and in his head and Vickie Le, 33, was shot in her head, her shoulder and her leg, a spokesman from the Cook County medical examiner's office said. A total of four shots were fired.
Area 3 Cmdr. William Hayes said the shootings remained under investigation and all angles would be investigated.
"It's so early in this investigation,'' Hayes said. "We're just at square one with this one.''
Missy Lavender said she got to know the couple as a customer of the Le's nail salon on the near North Side. Timme Le also has been a part-owner in a restaurant called Monaco in the Uptown neighborhood, she said. Lavender said the couple, who met in high school, also had an 18-month-old son named Timothy.
Lavender said the nail salon, which opened four years ago, was more than just a business, and that's why she and other patrons have responded to the tragedy by setting up the fund.
"It was like a general store,'' Lavender said. "You could find out how everybody was doing. You see pictures . . . get reacquainted with lots of people. It was one of those really unusual places in a big city where you were always greeted by name.''
