“This act of brutal violence has senselessly destroyed the lives and the potential of many young people at Virginia Tech.

“Today our hearts go out to the families and friends of the innocent people killed by this individual. Their only offense was the pursuit of learning and a high quality education.

“I am saddened by the tremendous loss of life and pray that the Virginia Tech community can begin the healing process quickly.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone in the Virginia Tech community, and we stand in support of the loved ones of those who have lost their lives on this tragic day.”
