It is hard to process the anger that motivates someone to commit such violence, especially at a place that provides care and healing,\u201d Lankford said. \u201cI am in touch with local officials in Tulsa and will continue to receive updates on the situation. Our law enforcement and first responders were prepared and equipped to respond to a situation to which no one ever wants to respond.
