Vicki Cowart, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Rocky Mountains (PPRM), released a statement expressing sympathy for the victims and tying the incident to "a poisonous environment that feeds domestic terrorism in this country.”

“We don't yet know the full circumstances and motives behind this criminal action, and we don't yet know if Planned Parenthood was in fact the target of this attack," she said. "We share the concerns of many Americans that extremists are creating a poisonous environment that feeds domestic terrorism in this country.”

A later statement by PPRM, which confirmed that all Planned Parenthood staff were "safe and accounted for," was more circumspect, noting that "the gunman's motive remains unknown as does whether Planned Parenthood was targeted deliberately."
