On Monday, a man killed 10 people in a shooting spree at a grocery store in Boulder, Colorado – another senseless act of violence that leaves families grieving and communities afraid. We offer our prayers of solace to those directly impacted, and lift prayers for guidance to all in positions of leadership who wish to take further steps to prevent future atrocities of this kind, as well as those responsible for seeking justice.
Gonzaga has a strong network of nearly 4,000 Zags in Colorado, and nearly 2,000 from the Boulder region. We also have more than 230 current students from the state, and recognize that this tragedy has great emotional impact, especially when apart from loved ones.
