One of those survivors, Brandon Wolf, sat down with anchor Justin Warmoth on “The Weekly” to reflect on the tragedy.

“Every day is hard,” Wolf said. “The last six years have been very challenging for me. I am so grateful to this community, to the home I chose in 2008. I had no idea how much I would need this community and the people in it, but there’s still a hole in my life where my best friends used to be. You never grow beyond that; you grow around it.”
