Wasserman Schultz Statement on Shooting at First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas

(Sunrise, Fla.) – U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) released the following statement after the news of a mass shooting at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas:

“My heart aches for the families of those impacted in Texas. In a place of worship, prayer, and healing, Americans should not have to fear for their lives.

We experience deadly mass shootings disturbingly, more and more often in this country. Yet, there still has been no action to make sure people who shouldn’t have guns can’t get them.

Nothing has been done to keep weapons of war off our streets or even to allow research on gun violence. The President and the Congressional Majority are failing our country and our people.”
