From Governor Ted Strickland's office:
Governor Ted Strickland today declared Friday, April 20, 2007, as a statewide day of mourning for the victims of the Virginia Tech tragedy.
At the request of Virginia Governor Tim Kaine, Strickland joins with governors across the country in designating tomorrow as a day to remember those involved in Monday’s shooting.
“Ohioans are grieving for the students and faculty members whose lives were tragically taken at Virginia Tech,” Strickland said. “I encourage everyone to take a few moments Friday at noon to offer their heartfelt prayers and support for the victims of this tragedy and their families.”
Strickland asks Ohioans to observe a moment of silence or ring a bell at noon Friday in honor of the victims.
