"Shocked by the horrific shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. Nothing could justify this wild act of intolerance and hatred based on antisemitism and racism. At this difficult moment we mourn together with our American friends. My most sincere condolences go to the families and relatives of those perished and wounded in this terrible tragedy," the president wrote on Twitter.
