As police continued their investigation Monday night, area residents returned to Danforth Avenue to place candles, flowers and messages of support at various makeshift memorials.

In large letters, the words 鈥淒anforth Strong鈥� have been spray-painted on scaffolding while phrases such as 鈥淕reek town strong鈥� and 鈥渨e will not be afraid鈥� were written in chalk on the pavement around a fountain decorated with flowers, notes and candles.
