Statement
Issues: National Security
Senator Jay Rockefeller released the following statement on today's tragic shooting at the Naval Yard:
"West Virginians everywhere today are grieving for those killed--and the families they left behind--after today's horrendous act, made all the more terrible because it happened in a place and to people who serve our nation and work to protect us.
"We are becoming far too familiar with senseless, tragic violence. This is the seventh shooting since 2009, and these repeated incidents demand our attention. While the details are being sorted out, I hope you'll join with Sharon and me in offering our deepest sympathies and heartfelt prayers to those affected by today's horrific act of violence."
