Really terrible day today, as everyone is just reeling from the shooting in Goleta last night. I spoke to Reverend Father Jon-Stephen Hedges of St. Athanasius Church here in Isla Vista, who was at the scene until 5am this morning, and he echoed the sentiment that this tragedy will have a long standing impact on our community. Personally, I think we’re lucky to have people like Father Jon in Isla Vista who have the abilities to help the community heal - at that’s coming from me, Mr. Agnostic. But I digress…
My heart goes out to the families of the victims of this tragedy. And I hope, as small as it may seem right now, that they take some comfort in knowing that they are in everyone’s thoughts and prayers.
