GOV. RITTER STATEMENT ON FORT HOOD SHOOTINGS

"My thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who lost their lives and were injured today at Fort Hood," Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter said. "This senseless act of violence against the men and women who sacrifice so much for our country is truly tragic. I join all Americans in extending my deepest sympathies and condolences to everyone who was touched by this."
