MENASHA, WI (WTAQ) – A gathering to help Fox Valley residents move on from four random shooting deaths was delayed until May 31st, due to a potential for severe weather.
The “Hands Over the Fox” event was scheduled Sunday night on the Trestle Trail Bridge in Menasha.
Tornado warnings were in effect Sunday to the north, around the Menominee Indian Reservation — and rain shortened a Wisconsin Timber Rattlers’ baseball game at Grand Chute.
Thousands of people were planning to hold hands across the Trestle bridge, where gunman Sergio Valencia del Toro shot and killed two family members, a passerby, and then himself 15 days ago.
Organizers said they didn’t want to take any chances with severe weather — so they decided to delay it for two weeks.
Winds hit 55 miles an hour Sunday evening near Ashland, and were in the 40’s elsewhere in northwest Wisconsin.
The National Weather Service reported no building damage in the Badger State. Neighboring Minnesota had tornadoes and hail, but those storms got weaker after they entered Wisconsin.
Wet and cooler weather is predicted through Monday night, with highs in the 50’s and 60’s and lows Monday night dropping into the 30’s.
