A sad day in Milwaukee. 7 killed in a shooting. May God comfort the bereaved. Hope you and your friends, relatives are safe.

That said, in spite of any fleeting comfort from the delusion that the victims are now in heaven, it is the real and tangible support from people around them that will be of greater help getting through this.
