Bush 'horrified' by shootings
President Bush was described today as "shocked and saddened" by the mass shooting at Virginia Tech, the deadliest incident of campus violence ever seen in the US.
"He was horrified and his immediate reaction was one of deep concern for the families of the victims, the victims themselves, the students, the professors and all the people of Virginia who have dealt with this shocking incident," White House deputy press secretary Dana Perino said, adding: "His thoughts and prayers are with them."
