USA Today wrote:The White House and State department condemned the attack extended thoughts and prayers to Karlov's family, the Russian government and the Russian people.
"This heinous attack on a member of the diplomatic corps is unacceptable, and we stand united with Russia and Turkey in our determination to confront terrorism in all of its forms," National Security Council spokesman Ned Price said in a statement.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry offered U.S. assistance to Russia and Turkey "as they investigate this despicable attack, which was also an assault on the right of all diplomats to safely and securely advance and represent their nations around the world."
