Like many of you, I was truly saddened by the violence that took place on the campus of Virginia Tech Monday morning. My heart goes out to the families of the deceased and the survivors.
While most of the focus has been on how this tragedy has affected the VT students, faculty and families, the people I think about most are the gunmen’s parents. They must be devastated by the knowledge that their son was responsible for killing 32 people. Perhaps in time, they will be able to talk about this tragedy and shed some light on their son’s behavior. In the meantime, I hope people everywhere will allow the family to grieve in peace and give them time to cope with their loss. They are as much a victim as those who were killed and injured Monday morning and deserve our kindness, patience and understanding.
