Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with the Members of the U.S. Congress, their families and staffs, as well as first responders and all other victims injured and impacted by this morning’s horror on a ballfield in Alexandria.

We are extremely grateful for the heroic efforts of law enforcement and other first responders whose quick and decisive action unquestionably saved lives.

All of us must stand united against violence in any form.
