Summary
First H.E.L.P. said Saturday it will stay focused on supporting first responders and families, thanking supporters as co-founder Karen Solomon remains the target of a Worcester manhunt.
Karen Solomon has been sought since Tuesday, when Worcester police found Officer Kurt Solomon dead; authorities said Friday she is now wanted for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
Coes Pond remained the center of the search, with nearby parks and historic Stearns Tavern closed Friday as investigators pursued what Police Chief Paul Saucier called a large-scale operation.
In its statement, the nonprofit said the tragedy does not diminish its mission on suicide prevention and mental health, but instead highlights the complexity and reach of such crises.
