Thank you for your reasoned and thoughtful post, Helen. I expected nothing else from you, and wholeheartedly agree with you approaching this in a cautious manner until more information is found out and disbursed.

I think the most troubling thing about this is that so many have lost the ability to compartmentalize and view things from the perspective of humanity, and instead, immediately go to political tribalism. The most somber thoughts should go to the family of the individual who was murdered at the rally, and I feel horrible for them. Additionally, the same is true for the families of the other two victims who are in critical condition, and also the family of the shooter, as I am sure they are horrified and the media will be all over them. It’s such a tragic situation, and nothing good can come out of it.

As you wisely suggested, I will be in prayer for all those affected by this situation, and although it’s almost impossible at this point, I do hope we can be brought closer as a country by this awful occurrence. Enjoy your Sunday and God bless.

Thanks Bill. If you are interested, here is a link to former First Lady Melania Trump's statement. I found it gracious and inspiring. https://x.com/HRaleighspeaks/status/1812505640419393801
