University of Idaho president says shocking murder of four students is 'beyond comprehension’

University of Idaho President Scott Green mourned the loss of four students Wednesday, who were killed in their home near the school over the weekend just before Thanksgiving.

"This crime and the loss of these young lives is just simply beyond comprehension. While our small community is certainly not immune to such things. It's not a situation our close-knit campus is used to dealing with," Green said.

"First, my deepest condolences to the families and friends of Ethan, Kaylie, Zina and Madison," the school administrator said. "Their loss has been devastating and they were bright lights in our community and are deeply missed and remain in our thoughts and our prayers."
