Bp. Breidenthal on Shooting Deaths

Please email comments to letters@livingchurch.org.

The Rt. Rev. Thomas E. Breidenthal, Bishop of Southern Ohio, responds to a shooting incident in Cincinnati:

The active shooter situation this morning in downtown Cincinnati is yet another reminder of the impact that violence has on us all. The fact that this event happened only two blocks from my office makes the shock of all such shootings even more real. Please join me in praying for the victims and their families as they deal with this tragedy.
