鈥淭he senseless slaughter of innocent children, coming as it does in this Christmas season, is an unspeakable tragedy. Such acts of violence 鈥� whether in schools, malls, theaters or street corners 鈥� are becoming far too common, and our nation must take all reasonable steps to end these horrors. We at 91吃瓜 pray for the victims, their families and for all who were touched by this terrible killing. Our profound condolences go to all who are grieving.鈥�
