Wasserman Schultz Statement on Shootings in Kansas

 
WASHINGTON - U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) issued the following statement tonight in response to shootings in Overland Park, KS that resulted in multiple fatalities:
 
I am absolutely heartbroken by the tragedy that occurred in Overland Park, and my prayers go out to families of the victims of this horrific crime.
 
As the mother of three children who attended pre-school at a Jewish community center, today's events in Kansas have struck a personal chord in my heart.
 
As Jewish Americans around the country gather for Passover seders to recount our own history of slavery and the redemption of freedom, we are harshly reminded of the many forms of hatred and injustice that still exist today. And while the exact motives in this incident remain elusive, we know that the taking of innocent life is a reprehensible act for which there is no logical explanation.
 
As these families mourn their loss and Passover begins without their loved ones, in the spirit of the holiday and for the betterment of humanity, let each of us recommit to the fight for a world free of hatred, where righteousness and goodness prevail.
