Father Frank Pavone, the director of Priests for Life, has commented on the shooting in an email to LifeNews.com.

“We do not know the motive yet. But this is a time to console one another, and to renew our determination to organize peaceful protests,” he said. “It is no time for fear.”

Pavone called on abortion advocates to comdemn the shooting.

“And I am waiting to hear the abortion advocates condemn this killing,” he said.
