The Killeen, Texas, city council has approved plans for a Fort Hood Memorial to victims of the deadly Nov. 5 shooting rampage.

The memorial, approved June 8, is planned near the Killeen Civic and Conference Center. The city will search for an engineer and architect for a granite-and-limestone pavilion.

Brian Vanicek, president of the Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas, said June 9 that his group will spearhead the project, seeking donations from the public and private groups. He had no cost estimate.

The group has collected $36,000, with $25,000 more in pledges for the monument, according to the Killeen Daily Herald.
