Thoughts rushed through my mind. Mostly like this: ‘What!?’ Then, ‘who!!?’ ‘Where?’ and finally: why, why, why, why, why...?

I had no words to write. I was struck dumb, speechless of pen, anyway. I had no words because there are no words. No words that could possible help, not even one iota. But, I had a heart filled with compassion and so I cried.

(Just out of curiosity, today I visited the NRA website. Apparently they have no words either, because as of this posting - and I mean it's been 24 hours- they mention not a word of condolence.)
