One of his daughters penned an emotional letter that recounts the moments after the attack and her encounter with the gunman, 40-year-old Thomas Sanford. I know many of you may not want to hear this… when I gave a description of Thomas to the FBI, I told them he had blue eyes. Blue eyes brightened by tears, red and teary. Something about his blue eyes caused me confusion. Fear breeds anger, anger breeds hate, hate breeds suffering.
