What Key Word Did the White House Leave Out of Its Statement Condemning Denmark Shooting Attack? | TheBlaze.com:

"The White House issued a statement following the shooting at a free speech event in Denmark, calling the attack “deplorable” but did not describe it as “terrorist” in nature, unlike Denmark’s prime minister who did use that term.

“The United States condemns today’s deplorable shooting in Copenhagen,” said National Security Council Spokesperson Bernadette Meehan in a statement. “We offer our condolences to the loved ones of the deceased victim, and our thoughts are with those wounded in this attack. We have been in close contact with our Danish counterparts and stand ready to lend any assistance necessary to the investigation.”
The statement was issued after the first shooting in Copenhagen on Saturday but before the killing of a Jewish man at a synagogue in the Danish capital."
