10:40 a.m.
The governor of Utah is praising the three Mormon missionaries injured in the deadly attacks on the Brussels airport and subway.
A statement from Gov. Gary Herbert on Tuesday offered support to the families of 66-year-old Richard Norby, 20-year-old Joseph Empey and 19-year-old Mason Wells.
The men were serving in Paris and were seriously wounded at the Brussels airport where two explosions occurred. The attacks killed at least 31 people and wounded dozens.
Herbert praised the Utah natives as "people of faith who have forsaken everything — family, friends, school and careers — in order to share a message of hope and love with the world."
Thousands of Utah Mormons have served proselytizing missions around the world. Mormons account for as many as two-thirds of the state's population.
