“Today will forever be remembered as a dark day in our nation's history. In what now appears to have been the worst mass shooting our country has ever witnessed, the lives of at least 31 Americans were tragically cut short by an act of unspeakable violence and cruelty on the campus of Virginia Tech, and dozens more were injured.
