"First and foremost, I mourn with the families and victims of last night’s tragic shooting. I will continue to monitor what further details the FBI and local law enforcement officials release in regards to the deadly violence from Orlando, Florida.

Rather, they look to instill fear and violence into the hearts of innocent people. I hope further justice is brought forth, swiftly, to any extremists looking to harm innocent people."
