Romney Responds To CO Shooting

Mitt Romney has issued a statement.

"Ann and I are deeply saddened by the news of the senseless violence that took the lives of 15 people in Colorado and injured dozens more. We are praying for the families and loved ones of the victims during this time of deep shock and immense grief. We expect that the person responsible for this terrible crime will be quickly brought to justice."

Both Romney and the president are expected to curtail campaign events planned for today.
