Moments like that, you see it on the news played out in front of your eyes and it becomes like a movie or something that's in the distant. But when it hits home like this, it's real. What prompted you to come here today? This is our city. This is where I live. I'm a pastor and a law enforcement officer. This is my home. You touched my heart when you touch the people of our city. This should not happen in virginia beach. It shouldn't happen in any city in the United States of America.
Sadly it does. I believe that there are some things that you can't do from a distance. It's personal. We have to be here. We have to, we have to wrap our arms around physically around people who are weeping. It's just knowing that somebody's life. You know, lives were snuffed out prematurely. You know, senseless from a senseless act of violence. Still brings tears? Yeah yeah. What are you thinking? What do you feel? Where's that pain? What are you thinking about? Thinking about those that lost their loved ones and children that lost their parents grandparents. There's power in prayer we will continue to pray it. Tonight the mayor of virginia beach says we will not be defined by this horror. We are a city of resiliency and resolved.
