President Bush Offers Comfort To NIU

WASHINGTON (AP) ― President Bush has offered words of comfort to families of the victims of a shooting rampage at Northern Illinois University.

Bush talked by telephone with NIU President John Peters and said that a lot of people will be praying for the families of the victims and for the Northern Illinois University community.

During a meeting with Republican congressional leaders in the White House, Bush said he was asking citizens across the country to "offer their blessings -- blessings of comfort and blessings of strength."
