Statewide day of mourning declared

Advertiser Staff

Gov. Linda Lingle and Lt. Gov. James "Duke" Aiona have declared tomorrow a statewide day of mourning for the 32 victims of the shooting rampage this week at Virginia Tech.

"The people of Hawai'i join their fellow citizens in their grief," the governor and lieutenant governor wrote in a proclamation. "Our hearts and prayers go out to the families and friends of those who lost their lives or suffered deep physical or emotional wounds.

"Moving forward, we are united with the Virginia Tech community as it begins the process of recovery."
