May God comfort you all during this time of sorrow.

This senseless tragedy breaks my heart! It's hard to even verbalize anything that might bring the friends and family of the victims some comfort, as well as to anyone who is disturbed by this event. Please keep in mind that God is not the cause for our suffering (James 1:13), He feels for us when we suffer (Zechariah 2:8) and He promises to end all suffering (Psalm 38:9-11). I hope those words can bring some comfort to your broken hearts.

Bless all of your hearts
