Boehner: America stands with Colorado in face of ‘incomprehensible evil’

Republican House Speaker John Boehner vowed Friday in the aftermath of the tragic mass shooting in Colorado that America would pull together in the face of "incomprehensible evil."

"I join President Obama, and every American, in sending my thoughts and prayers to the victims of this awful tragedy," Boehner said in a statement emailed to reporters. "We will all stand with them, as one nation, in the days ahead."

"Confronted with incomprehensible evil, Americans pull together and embrace our national family more tightly," Boehner said.
