“As many of us know, on May 23, 2014, a mass shooting took place in Isla Vista, California, a community adjacent to the University of California, Santa Barbara campus. The people of the United States will continue to mourn the loss of six innocent victims and students of the University of California, Santa Barbara. Each of these students excelled in school and were looking forward to bright futures. We will continue to remember the victims: George Chen, 19; Katherine Breann Cooper, 22; Cheng ``James'' Yuan Hong, 20; Christopher Ross Michaels-Martinez, 20; Weihan ``David'' Wang, 20; and Veronika Weiss, 19. Americans everywhere continue to extend their support and sympathy to the victims, their families, and loved ones, and we wish each of the 13 people injured in the shooting a full and speedy recovery. I would also like to commend the law enforcement officers and other first responders for their courage, bravery, and dedication to service. Their efforts helped to prevent further fatalities and injuries, and we remain extremely grateful to each of them. I urge support of this measure, and I reserve the balance of my time.”
