My very deepest sympathys and prayers go out to all of the family and friends of the 5 victims who were shot and killed this evening. There is no justification in taking actions like this crazed killer did, and I am sure he is answering for it now. That doesn’t bring back your loved ones, nothing will. I pray that God gives you strength to get through this unnecessary tragedy. I don’t know what is going on in our society, our world; but I do know that too many innocent lives are being lost. My heart bleeds for each and every one of you.
