The Simon Wiesenthal Center joins with all Americans in shedding tears for the families of the 19 innocent school childrenand 2 adults who were shot to death by a deranged murderer. 

We urge Democrats and Republicans alike to set aside their differences and work together to assure the safety of every child in every school in America, and to help put an end to the endless scourge of mass murders besetting the world’s greatest democracy.
