On Friday, May 27, Enumclaw teacher Amy Erwin's life was taken by her husband. He then turned the gun on himself and took his own life, leaving behind two children, ages 13 and 7. In the stunned aftermath of this tragedy, Amy Erwin's longtime friend, Tacoma's Sean Lund, has organized a benefit show at The New Frontier Lounge scheduled for Friday.

"This show is a fundraiser for those kids," says Lund. "I had reconnected with (Amy Erwin) after our last high school reunion, four years ago. She was a near and dear friend to me in high school, when my dad died. She was one of the few people I relied on, who helped me get through that time. My heart just goes out to those kids. I felt at a loss about what to do, and I was frustrated and angry about her being murdered. ... I thought that I could turn around and do some good."
