Rwanda Foreign Affairs Minister Louise Mushikiwabo has used her tweeter account to send her condolences to American families who lost members of their families in a rampage at a Connecticut elementary school.
The killing happened Friday, when a 20 year-old Lanza shot 20 children and six adults at School.
“Many people in Rwanda following with sadness events in Newtown, Connecticut…Our hearts go out to bereaved families!” Mushikiwabo said.
The report said On Friday morning, Lanza shot his mother Nancy in the face at the home they shared in Newtown, and then drove her car to Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Dressed in black combat gear, he broke a window at the school, which had recently had a new security system installed, and within minutes had shot and killed six adults and 20 schoolchildren between the ages of five and 10.
The killing have brought a state of panic among Americans who urged the US Government to take serious measures to avoid further killings
President Barack Obama assured the grieving, shell-shocked Newtown community on Sunday that “you are not alone” and vowed sternly to wield “whatever power this office holds” in a quest to prevent future mass shootings.
“We can’t tolerate this anymore,” Obama said from behind a podium on the stage of a Newton High School auditorium, as adults wept, or hugged, or sat quietly, many hugging small children. “These tragedies must end. And to end them, we must change.”
“In the coming weeks, I’ll use whatever power this office holds to engage my fellow citizens — from law enforcement, to mental health professionals, to parents, and educators — in an effort aimed at preventing more tragedies like this, because what choice do we have?”He said
