My first thoughts in this situation, are the same this time as they always are, they are with the families and friends of the victims. There are no words right now, that will soothe their pain, or ease them through what will be one of the hardest, toughest times they will ever go through.
My second thought is the same one I have every time somebody uses one of the T words in this kind of situation. The T words being terror, terrorist and terrorism. Whether the crime fits the definition of terrorism or not, I will not used the T words to describe it. This was a crime, an act of premeditated murder. Even describing it that way is emotive enough. The fact that the perpetrator committed suicide in the act, just means that it saves the expense of a trial and the ongoing cost of keeping him in prison. Rather than face human justice, the perpetrator convicted himself in the highest court of all, and all he did in the process was to allow the gods and goddesses to send him into his eternal damnation much sooner than originally planned.
My last thought here is simply this. Carry on as normal today. Don't let this or any other criminal act of this magnitude change who you are or what you do.
