House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) made the following remarks today on the attack in Boston:
"I don’t think words can express our sorrow for the families that are grieving today as a result of what happened in Boston. The whole House yesterday offered our moment of silence, but our whole House continues to pray for the victims and their families.
"We also give thanks to the professionals and Good Samaritans who helped to prevent further loss of life. I’ve ordered the flags at the Capitol to be flown at half-staff in tribute to the victims and their families.
"It was a terrible day for all Americans, but we carry on in the American spirit, we will come together with grace and with strength."
