Virginia Governor Tim Kaine is asking that Friday April 20th be a day of mourning which would include persons taking time for prayer and reflection, as is appropriate in their traditions. At noon, churches and other houses of worship are encouraged to ring bells, and all citizens are encouraged to observe a moment of silence.

Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley called on the citizens of Maryland to support the families and students of Virginia Tech by joining in this day of mourning, including the ringing of bells and a moment of silence at noon.
