Hundreds attend candlelit vigil for missing Israeli teens

About 200 people gathered to pray for three Israeli teens who were kidnapped in Israel last Friday at Tivoli Village at 302 S. Rampart Boulevard Tuesday evening. Those in attendance recited prayers for Gilad Shaar, 16, Naftali Frenkel, 16, and Eyal Yifrach, 19, during a candlelight vigil. The teenagers disappeared while hitchhiking near the Palestinian city of Hebron.
