WAUWATOSA, WI — A GoFundMe was started in support of a George Webb employee who was shot at the Wauwatosa location on Jan. 30. Police said a worker was shot by customers arguing about service.

The fundraiser was started by Anne Marie, the GoFundMe page says. Marie wrote in the fundraiser she is a friend of the victim.

"He is able to walk unassisted now, which has been a big deal. His positive attitude is truly inspiring," Marie posted to the fundraiser on Tuesday. "He said more than once tonight in his hoarse whisper, 'I'm alive' with the best smile he could muster."
