Massachusetts House Minority Leader Bradley H. Jones, Jr. (R-North Reading) and Senate Minority Leader Bruce E. Tarr (R-Gloucester) issued the following statement on today’s shooting at former President Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania:
“We are appalled and sickened by the shooting that took place at former President Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania today and relieved he is safe. We condemn this senseless act of violence which has no place in our political discourse or our democracy. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the innocent bystander who was killed and another seriously injured. Thank you to our U.S. Secret Service and other law enforcement personnel who acted swiftly to confront this lethal threat, and to the first responders who provided emergency medical care to its victims. We are calling for unity in the face of this violent attack, which threatens our democracy and the foundational principle of free speech.”
