Garcetti ‘heartbroken’ and ‘angered’ after UCLA shooting
On Wednesday afternoon, Mayor Eric Garcetti issued a statement on the UCLA shooting:
“My thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by what appears to have been a murder-suicide on the campus of UCLA,” Garcetti said. “This horrific event, at an institution dedicated to learning and mutual understanding, reminds us once again of the fragility of a peaceful society. Thankfully, the campus is now safe — but I am heartbroken by the sight of SWAT teams running down avenues normally filled with students, and angered by the fear that one person with a firearm can inflict on a community. I want to commend the entire UCLA community for its extraordinary grace and calm on a traumatic morning.”
