By Published on September 7, 2015

Thousands of people have collectively raised nearly half a million dollars for the family of Darren Goforth, the Texas police deputy who was fatally shot while putting gas in his patrol car late last month.

As of Sunday night, a GoFundMe account set up by deputy Brandon Herlong held just over $300,000, $50,000 short of its goal. USA Today reports that volunteers at the Chevron station where Goforth was killed have pooled an additional $192,000 in donations. All proceeds will go to Goforthโ€™s wife Kathleen and their children.
