Essaifi said the mosque, also called the Islamic Center of Grand Junction, was showered with support after the incident.
"We're so glad that we have such a wonderful community here," he said."We got a lot of help, a lot of people came in on the same day ... 50 to 60 people came in and showed their support." He said the mosque bought and moved into the building about two years ago, but that leadership held off on putting in the sign because they wanted to see how the community would react."They're very happy we are taking care of the place," he added."We thought, 'This is a good time to put this sign up.'"
A GoFundMe for the mosque has raised more than $4,500 to help Two Rivers Mosque buy a new sign, which Essaifi said will be installed high on the building. Leaders also hope to purchase lights to install outside. He believes having lights outside would have given authorities a better look at the suspect in this incident.
In addition to a new sign and lights, Essaifi said the mosque is considering hiring security in during Friday prayer services.
