Van Hollen Statement on H. Con. Res 134, Condemning, in the strongest possible terms, the heinous atrocities that occurred in Aurora, Colorado
Washington,
Jul 26, 2012 -
Today I rise to join my colleagues in honoring and remembering all of the victims of the tragic shootings in an Aurora, Colorado movie theater last Friday, July 20, 2012, and to condemn the senseless and abhorrent violence that took their lives or left them wounded. The victims’ friends and families can count on the unyielding support of their fellow Americans as we come together to mourn the loss and heal the wounds caused by the heinous acts of that day.
We must also recognize the heroic efforts made by those inside the theater to protect others. Their courage, along with the quick and decisive actions of the hundreds of first responders, law enforcement officials, and hospital workers, undoubtedly saved lives. I join my colleagues in offering my thoughts and our prayers to those touched by this horrible event.
