WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz released the following statement today in response to the shooting at a theater in Aurora, Colorado:

“This is a heartbreaking, terrible tragedy. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the victims and their families and friends and the entire Aurora community. We stand with you in this time of need, ready to help in any way we can. As a mother, I think of all the times that our family has enjoyed a movie, or family outing, and cannot begin to comprehend the violence that was inflicted upon innocent Americans simply trying to watch a movie last night. I am deeply saddened by this senseless violence.”
