Colorado Shooting

Hearts and prayers go out to the families and victims of the tragedy in Colorado.  Thankfully, most groups (Left and right) aren't biting this yet, and let's hope it stays that way.

Message from the President:
Michelle and I are shocked and saddened by the horrific and tragic shooting in Colorado. Federal and local law enforcement are still responding, and my Administration will do everything that we can to support the people of Aurora in this extraordinarily difficult time. We are committed to bringing whoever was responsible to justice, ensuring the safety of our people, and caring for those who have been wounded. As we do when confronted by moments of darkness and challenge, we must now come together as one American family. All of us must have the people of Aurora in our thoughts and prayers as they confront the loss of family, friends, and neighbors, and we must stand together with them in the challenging hours and days to come.
And, from Romney:
This is not only an act of extreme violence, it is also an act of depravity. It is beyond the power of words to fully express our sorrow this morning. Our prayers and condolences go first to the families of those killed, and we share the grief of everyone affected by this senseless event. We appreciate the swift work by local, state and federal law enforcement. Coloradans have a remarkable ability to support one another in times of crisis. This one of those times.
 Let's not turn this partisan.  This was an act of violence, and whatever motive it was, the person was sick in the head.  My advice for those in WNY?  Give blood today if you are eligible.  Might not get to Colorado, or even be needed there; but we never know when tragedies like this occur, and that is one thing that will always be needed in the aftermath of things like this.
