Amy Klobuchar: “It is a step in the right direction.”

Our state must take terrorism and violent crime head on, working with our federal law enforcement and local police departments to keep Minnesotans safe.

We’re grateful to everyone involved for their quick response and we will continue working closely with law enforcement as the investigation continues.

This shows why we continue to need major coordinated investments in anti-terrorism and local law enforcement to stop attacks like these.

I gotta be honest — sometimes compassion is having consequences because if they think no one’s going to do anything about it, and they can just roam around and do more of this … you’re going to just continue it and expand it.
