U.S. Congressman Jeb Hensarling (TX-5) released the following statement in response to the tragedy at the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs:
"It is unconscionable to learn that someone walked into a Sunday church service to open fire on innocent people. I am shocked and pained to hear about this news. My wife, Melissa, and I are praying for the people in Sutherland Springs. It is my sincere hope and belief that the Lord will lift these victims up during this tragic time."
