This morning, President Obama addressed
the tragic shooting in Aurora, Colorado, calling on the country to stand with
those who have been touched by the tragedy:
[Even] as we learn how this happened and who's responsible, we may never understand what leads anybody to terrorize their fellow human beings like this. Such violence, such evil is senseless. It's beyond reason. But while we will never know fully what causes somebody to take the life of another, we do know what makes life worth living. The people we lost in Aurora loved and they were loved. They were mothers and fathers; they were husbands and wives; sisters and brothers; sons and daughters, friends and neighbors. They had hopes for the future and they had dreams that were not yet fulfilled.
Earlier today, the President spoke with
both the mayor of Aurora, Steve Hogan, and Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper
-- and pledged the full support of federal law enforcement to aid the
investigation.
