'In These Moments of Darkness, We Hold onto God's Word': Trump Comforts after Florida ShootingPresident Trump is urging everyone to combat Wednesday's tragedy not with anger, but instead to "answer hate with love" and "cruelty with kindness" ... "We must work together to create a culture in our country that embraces the dignity of life."

"No parent should ever have to fear for their sons and daughters when they kiss them goodbye in the morning." "Each person who was stolen from us yesterday had a full life ahead of them, a life filled with wondrous beauty and unlimited potential and promise," he continued. "Each one had dreams to pursue, love to give and talents to share with the world. And each one had a family to whom they meant everything in the world." He assured the town that all of America is praying for the victims and their families "with one heavy heart." "In these moments of heartache and darkness, we hold on to God's Word in Scripture: 'I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will heal you,'" he said. "We trust in that promise and we hold fast to our fellow Americans in their time of sorrow."

You have people who care about you, who love you, and who will do anything at all to protect you. If you need help, turn to a teacher, a family member, a local police officer, or a faith leader," he said. @realDonaldTrump (Tweet) Trump announced he plans to visit Parkland to visit with families in coming days. The alleged gunman was reportedly an orphaned 19-year-old former student at the school who had a troubled past. Students and teachers say they saw warnings signs that he posed a danger to the school. Trump, who suggested the teen was "mentally disturbed," vowed to work with authorities to address the issue of mental health and to make safer schools his "top priority." "Our community is working with local law enforcement authorities to investigate the shooting and learn everything we can. We are committed to working with state and local leaders to help secure our schools and tackle the difficult issue of mental health," the president said. President Trump is urging everyone to combat Wednesday's tragedy not with anger, but instead to "answer hate with love" and "cruelty with kindness." "We must work together to create a culture in our country that embraces the dignity of life," Trump admonished. Meanwhile, the gunman has been charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder after unleashing the deadliest school shooting in the U.S. in five years.
