It’s a sunny, if a bit chilly end to the work week.
On a more somber note, today is also a day to remember those killed and wounded at Virginia Tech on this day in 2007.
It has been 14 years since 32 students and faculty were killed in a tragic shooting on the campus of Virginia Tech.
Today, my heart is with the Hokie community—and all those across our country whose lives have been forever changed by senseless acts of gun violence.#VTWeRemember pic.twitter.com/ibwEtQXcZK
