The benefit concert will be streamed live on the Smashing Pumpkins' official YouTube channel Wednesday night at 9 p.m. EST.
a gunman began shooting at a crowd of people that were celebrating the Fourth of July from the roof of a business near the parade route. Nearly nine hours later, 21-year-old Robert"Bobby" Crimo III, who had been identified as a person of interest, was arrested.
Crimo has been charged with seven counts of first-degree murder and officials said they anticipate"dozens of more charges" to come. Mendel said she has not told her two young children that she shares with Corgan about the violent day. "We still don't know how to share with them what happened because so many people are hurt. So many children and families are affected by this," Mendel told"CBS Mornings."
"That's a conversation that's really tough for us to have at this time," Corgan added."Our kids are definitely asking questions and the day will come. We're just not there yet.""I think they're turning to each other not only to heal but to sort of organize and get focused on the future," Corgan said of the community in the shooting's aftermath."As far as young people go, you see them really at a loss for what to do. They're animated.
