George W. Bush: “We pray for them and for their families.”

We are heartbroken by the loss of life and the agony so many are feeling.

Those who have lost their precious children are facing a grief no parents should ever know.

Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens.
