@katiecouric : These are some of the victims of the Sri Lanka terror attacks that occurred on Easter Sunday. The death toll currently stands at 290, with over 500 people injured. My heart breaks for all the families and friends of the victims and for the senseless hate and violence that is happening in the world right now. 💔 It is sickening. Please pray for these families. ▪️Kieran Shafritz de Zoysa Kieran was a fifth grader at Sidwell Friends school in Washington DC.
