Sense of shock has gone beyond the shores of America as notable personalities have been reacting to the Orlando Massacre on Sunday, the deadliest massacre in American history.
One of such personality is the leader of the Vatican, Pope Francis who also condemned the easy availability of guns.
Pope Francis told the audience at a United Nations World Food Program event it was a “strange paradox” that while “forms of aid and development projects are obstructed by involved and incomprehensible political decisions, skewed ideological visions and impenetrable customs barriers, weaponry is not.”
“Pope Francis joins the families of the victims and all of the injured in prayer and in compassion. Sharing in their indescribable suffering he entrusts them to the Lord so they may find comfort.
“We all hope that ways may be found, as soon as possible, to effectively identify and contrast the causes of such terrible and absurd violence which so deeply upsets the desire for peace of the American people and of the whole of humanity.”
Omar Mateen, 29, has been named as the gunman in the attack. He was killed by SWAT police members when they entered the building.
