Statement by President Barack Obama on the Shooting in Colorado
Michelle and I are shocked and saddened by the horrific and tragic shooting in Colorado. Federal and local law enforcement are still responding, and my Administration will do everything that we can to support the people of Aurora in this extraordinarily difficult time. We are committed to bringing whoever was responsible to justice, ensuring the safety of our people, and caring for those who have been wounded. As we do when confronted by moments of darkness and challenge, we must now come together as one American family. All of us must have the people of Aurora in our thoughts and prayers as they confront the loss of family, friends, and neighbors, and we must stand together with them in the challenging hours and days to come.
Gov. John Hickenlooper released this statement:
“This is not only an act of extreme violence, it is also an act of depravity. It is beyond the power of words to fully express our sorrow this morning. Our prayers and condolences go first to the families of those killed, and we share the grief of everyone affected by this senseless event. We appreciate the swift work by local, state and federal law enforcement. Coloradans have a remarkable ability to support one another in times of crisis. This one of those times.”

“It is a tragic day for all of us when innocent people fall to senseless violence. On behalf of my family and the City of Denver, we offer condolences, prayers and support to those hurt by this heinous crime. Our hearts are broken but we are determined to move forward together. Denver is working diligently with neighboring Aurora officials, law enforcement and emergency responders to provide any assistance and resources needed. We stand at the ready to support the individuals and families affected by this senseless, senseless act.”
