"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims, their families and the people of Binghamton," Obama said.
A gunman massacred 12 to 13 people Friday at an immigration center in Binghamton, New York, Governor David Paterson said. He took at least 20 hostages, then apparently turning the gun on himself, according to CNN.
"We don't yet know all the facts, but my administration is actively monitoring the situation and the Vice President (Joe Biden) is in touch with Governor Paterson and local officials to track developments," Obama said.
New York's two US senators, Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, also reacted to the massacre.
"This is a terrible tragedy and our hearts and prayers go out to the victims and their families. We are monitoring the situation closely and will do everything we can to help," the two Democrats said.
