(二) We are saddened by the tragic loss of life and harm caused during the deadly shooting at Michigan State University, and we offer our deepest condolences to the families, friends, and communities of the victims. The shooting comes as a stark reminder of the tragedy of gun violence and is just the latest in a long string of similarly traumatic events at U.S. schools and higher education institutions. These traumatic events call for urgent attention. Together we must ensure that students and educators, whether at school, on campus, or elsewhere, are able to live and thrive safely and securely.
