Offering Comfort to Aurora
On Sunday, President Obama traveled to Aurora, Colorado to meet with the survivors of the movie theater shooting and offer solace to families of the victims.
During his visit to University of Colorado Hospital, the President had a chance to meet Stephanie Davies, who saved the life of her friend Allie Young while risking her own:
"As tragic as the circumstances of what we've seen today are, as heartbreaking as it is for the families, it's worth us spending most of our time reflecting on young Americans like Allie and Stephanie, because they represent what's best in us, and they assure us that out of this darkness a brighter day is going to come."
Read Stephanie and Allie's story.
