A moment of silence took place Tuesday morning in Buffalo, marking one week since a man walked into a health clinic in the west metro suburb and opened fire, killing one staff member and injuring four others.

The attack happened at an Allina Health clinic, and officials with the health care provider are inviting communities across Minnesota to participate in activities, including the moment of silence.

That's the time one week ago when a man first entered the clinic before going on a shooting rampage.

Minnesotans can also show their solidarity and support by wearing purple, which is the color of the Buffalo community, or displaying purple lights.

Purple light displays are planned throughout Buffalo, at Allianz Field in St. Paul, and other landmarks in the Twin Cities.

Gregory Ulrich is charged with murder and other counts in connection with the Feb. 9 attack, and remains in custody.
