Please stay safe if you are there and watch news for updates.” Mia Farrow stated, “Thoughts with #Munich at this awful time.”
Octavia Spencer wrote, “I think all major news outlets need to devote at least 10 mins reporting GOOD NEWS EVERYDAY. need balance. Praying for #Munich.” She added, “And if they don’t we need to: me first. I’m grateful for our #troops #Teachers #Firemen #policemen #nurses & pizza delivery.” Lily Allen also observed, “It’s so fascinating watching these press conferences. The press begging for police to confirm more dead, almost willing higher death toll.”
Josh Gad commented, “#Munich we are with you. The world is ugly right now. Scary, sad and ugly. #SpreadLoveNotHate.” And on Instagram, Lindsay Lohan posted, “Pray for #munich pray for #nice and appreciate your friends and family every second of every day.”
