Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly said: "I am deeply saddened by the tragic loss of lives last night and extend my deepest condolences to the victims’ families and loved ones.

I will issue a flag order today to acknowledge this devastating event and tragic loss of lives."

My prayer is that God wraps his arms around each and every victim, and that he continues to be with their families. 

There are no words that can make telling this story any easier. I ask the world to join me in praying for Kansas, the first responders, rescue crews, and all those involved in this horrific accident. I have been in contact with local and national authorities asking for answers and will continue to demand more information on how this unfolded.”
