他写道：“我们的社区受到了伤害、震撼，并且理应感到愤怒。我也是如此。在一个庆祝之夜，没有任何争执、恩怨或误解能够为这种程度的无意义暴力行径进行辩解。但请听清楚我的话：我们绝不让恐惧动摇这个社区的精神。对于那些在我们的核心珍视活动之一中伤害他人的人，正义必将得到伸张。”
“There is no argument, no beef, no misunderstanding that can justify this level of senseless violence during a night of celebration. But hear me clearly: We refuse to let fear shake the spirit of this community. Justice will be served to those who brought harm to those at one of our most treasured events.”
伍德芬补充道：“‘魔法之城经典赛’根植于传统黑人大学（HBCU）传统，而这些传统的内核就是家庭。今晚，作为一家人，我们在悲痛。我们向此刻正经受着难以想象痛苦的邻居们敞开双臂。就像一家人一样，我们将团结一致，度过这个悲惨的夜晚。虽然这起犯罪正在接受积极调查，但为了这起无意义的暴力事件能够迅速伸张正义，我们绝不会松懈。”
Woodfin added, “The Magic City Classic is rooted in HBCU tradition, and at the heart of those traditions is family. Tonight, as a family, we grieve. We wrap our arms around neighbors who are dealing with unimaginable pain right now. And just like family, we will stand united as we overcome this tragic night. While this crime is under an active investigation, we will not let up until we achieve swift justice for this senseless violence.”
