"I want to thank your agency and the special agents who were there for not only the rigor but also the sensitivity that they demonstrated."

"ATF, as you know, has a strong history of responding to high-profile incidents and investigations, as you did in Sandy Hook."

"I think that this incident, an accident that could have cost even more lives, caused more injuries, and done even greater damage, fortunately was less severe than it might have been."
