Local news reported that the man who brought the crosses, Greg Zanis, drove from Aurora, Illinois.

According to WGN9, Zanis, a carpenter, drove 1800 miles with the crosses to honor the victims. He’s made 20,000 crosses over the course of 20 years for homicide and shooting victims, WGN9 reported, but this installation is the most he’s ever made at one time.

He wrote a victim’s name on every cross, and he brought Stars of David for Jewish victims.

“This row of crosses will show the severity of what really happened there, more so than numbers and pictures in the paper,” he told TV station.
