Summary
"When the kids came in, they already knew," [Danny Davis] said about Thursday morning's sad news. "They were saying, 'Mr. Davis, did you hear about what happened?' And they and the entire staff were just in tears."
"It's a heartbreaking day," [Arne Duncan] said. "This destroyed a family and it has devastated a community. I can't believe that a human being would do this to children. And no child and no family and no community should have to go through something like this. This is a very close-knit community, and people are going to work together and people are going to continue to support the children and do everything that we can. But this is just very un-imaginable.""I told the kids that we love them," Duncan continued. "And that we are going to be there for them for the long haul. I told them that you are going to cry, you are going to be angry, you are going to be upset and you are going to be mad. And that's normal. That is how we are all feeling right now."See the full content of this document
