    It's hit us here down under too, really bad, very sad.
    The families affected are in our prayers.

    I think Australians (and especially Tasmanians) are reminded of our own shooting tragedy at Port Arthur, it's still fresh in our minds.

    I fail completely to understand what drives people to do this.

    A terrible tragedy, Scotland is stunned by the magnitude of this event. My sympathies are with the families of the deceased.

    Anything like this saddens me, and leaves me empty. My heart goes out to the family, friends and community.

    Shane, my sincere condolences for you and for Matt. May light perpetual shine upon him.
