Although the opening ceremonies were lavish and impressive, a dark cloud hung over the Olympic Games’ opening in Beijing.
Our hearts go out to the families impacted by the tragedy on Saturday. During the first day of the Olympics, a Chinese man attacked two relatives of a coach for the US Olympic men’s volleyball team at a tourist site. He killed one and injured the other and then the assailant committed suicide.
It was considered even more tragic since the brutal attack in pure daylight happened in an extremely tight Beijing with heightened security measures (or so we thought).
