Jeb Hensarling Releases Statement Following Tragic Murder of Five Dallas Officers

Statement

Congressman Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) released the following statement after five officers in Dallas were shot and killed in the line of duty:

"This tragedy literally hits close to home. This act of evil and cowardice took place just a few miles away from where my family goes to sleep every night--a place I've called home for more than 30 years. This tragic event reminds us that so much of our safety depends on that thin blue line--those that put their lives on the line for us each and every day.

"This is a day of mourning, a day of prayer, but it is also a day to say "thank you' to every man and woman who wears the law enforcement uniform. Our hearts are broken for the loved ones of the victims. We pray for their families. We pray for healing hands on those who have been wounded. And, we pray for swift justice on the perpetrators of evil.

"My team stands ready to assist the Dallas Police Department, DART and the Mayor's office in any way that we can. And, it is my hope and prayer that in America we get past "us vs. them' and realize that the only collective that counts is "We the People.'"
