“I am deeply shocked by the cruel murder spree that has taken place today at the 'Albertville' School in Winnenden (Germany), which will devastate the families concerned,” said PACE President, Lluís Maria de Puig. “A few moments of random violence will cause years of pain. It is too early to draw wider lessons from this, but I know that there will be much soul-searching to come. For now, my thoughts and deep sympathy are with those facing the loss of those dearest to them.”
