“Today, we honor two beautiful souls. An 8 year old and 10 year old lost their lives to senseless gun violence at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis last week. My heart is shattered for all the families impacted by this horrific tragedy. The horror that children, educators, and parishioners went through while they were praying should not have happened. I am incredibly grateful to our brave first responders who saved countless lives by their heroism and swift action. As our Minneapolis community continues to grieve, we must stand united to prevent another tragedy from occurring ever again. Mr. Speaker, I ask all of my colleagues to join me in a moment of silence.”
