Kanye West hosts event honoring Ohio mass shooting victims
DAYTON, Ohio >> Kanye West hosted an event in Ohio today in support of those affected by the recent mass shooting.
A large crowd gathered at the musician’s Sunday Service in a park in Dayton. The event featured choir singers and was also attended by comedian Dave Chappelle.
Chappelle, who resides in nearby Yellow Springs, was scheduled to host a special block party and benefit concert later today in Dayton for those affected by the shooting. That event was expected to feature national and local entertainers.
Organizers of tonight’s “Gem City Shine” event say it would be an effort to “reclaim” the entertainment district where 24-year-old Connor Betts’ 32-second rampage killed nine people and left dozens injured on Aug. 4.
