WOODLAND PARK, Colo. (KOAA) — A hot dog stand in Teller County is helping raise money for the two Colorado State Patrol Troopers who were injured following Tuesday morning's shooting.

Kyle, the owner of Mountain Dogz Grill, a local food truck, says the Troopers, Clark Tinan and Skylar Hoehn, were regulars at the location.

He says he wants to help them any way he can. The food truck is doing a "pay what you can" deal for lunch and donating every dollar to Troopers Tinan and Hoehn.

The food truck will be parked outside Woodland Hardware and Home, which is located south of Memorial Park in Woodland Park, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday.

"The Mountain Dog customers,... they're family, and a lot of them (have) become... good friends, and I just want to thank everybody who has been out here and everyone who's going to be coming out the next couple of days to help out," said Kyle.

Kyle says on Thursday, they raised more than $1,300.
