“This is a horrific day for the Commonwealth of Virginia. My deepest condolences and prayers go to the families of those who left home this morning, and will not return tonight, as well as those who have been injured in this tragedy. This is unspeakable, senseless violence. I commend local and state law enforcement, first responders, medical teams and all others who acted swiftly to respond to this situation. My thoughts continue to be with the victims and their families.”

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam
