Chairman Crowley Statement on School Shooting in Parkland, Florida

(Washington, D.C.) – House Democratic Caucus Chairman Joe Crowley (D-NY) issued the following statement on the school shooting in Parkland, Florida:

“My heart breaks for the students, faculty, and families of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. No child should be subjected to the horrors of gun violence, especially as they study and prepare for their futures.

“At yet, innocent children at 18 different schools had their lives impacted by horrific gun violence this year. This is an epidemic. We need real solutions and real action.

“As a Congress, we must have a better answer for the victims’ families than our thoughts and prayers. It is unconscionable that Republicans stand in the way of ending gun violence each and every time Americans lose their life due to a mass shooting. Americans are dying waiting for us to act. The time is now.”
