“Michelle and I were shocked and deeply saddened to learn about the act of senseless violence in Binghamton, NY today. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims, their families and the people of Binghamton. We don’t yet know all the facts, but my administration is actively monitoring the situation and the Vice President is in touch with Governor Paterson and local officials to track developments.”

Its very sad. He should have just let go of his issue. He should realize that life goes on. Killing people is not the answear to solving an issue. He could of just listened to his mother or moved out.
My heart goes to them in NY state. so sad and shocked.
All we were very saddened and frightened. Worldwide.
Binghamton is my hometwon. As I was watching the TV reports, I remembered that ACA office was basically next door to the church on Front Street where I was a member when I was young. That was the First Congregational Church, which is the one that appears in so many of the videos. I have driven past that ACA office many times and never even known exactly what they did there. I just never paid much attention to it until today. It's a cliche, but I never thought anything like this would happen in Binghamton, although as I said, the city has gone downhill very badly in the last 20-30 years.
