Yet another tragedy struck by the hands of a gunman. This was right here in our city. How do we once again mourn the loss of nine people, along with many wounded? Sending thoughts and prayers is good, but not enough. Not enough to truly assuage the grief of the loved ones. May we find a way for people of all stripes, all beliefs, to come together to help prevent another such tragedy.

The Silicon Valley Interreligious Council (SiVIC) Board and Affiliates, are deeply saddened to learn of the mass shooting at VTA Light-rail yard early this morning. We extend our prayers and our support to the entire VTA family for this horofic loss. We pray for the speedy and full recovery of those injured in the incident. Our prayers are with the families of the deceased.
