TO EXPRESS TO THE STUDENTS AND FACULTY OF VIRGINIA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE AND STATE UNIVERSITY THE HEARTFELT SYMPATHY OF THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA IN THE UNIVERSITY'S TRAGIC LOSS OF LIFE OF APRIL 16, 2007, AND TO OFFER OUR PRAYERS AND CONDOLENCES.

Whereas, on Monday, April 16, 2007, the students and faculty of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia, became victims of the deadliest mass shooting in the history of the United States; and

Whereas, the ultimate toll in human suffering is yet a staggering and horrific unknown; and

Whereas, the people of South Carolina wish for all the citizens of our sister State of Virginia and, most particularly, the students and faculty of the university, to know by these presentiments that we deplore and condemn this senseless and despicable act; and

Whereas, our hearts go out to all who have suffered in this tragedy, and we pray God's healing mercies on the members of the university community and their families. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, express to the students and faculty of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University the heartfelt sympathy of the people of South Carolina in the university's tragic loss of life of April 16, 2007, and offer our prayers and condolences.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the President of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Dr. Charles W. Steger.
