Sep 16, 2013 | Press Releases

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement regarding today’s shooting at the Washington Navy Yard:

“My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and families impacted by today’s shooting at the Washington Navy Yard. The brave men and women of our military sacrifice so much for our country and often endure great hardships abroad, and it’s sickening to see them attacked like this while serving stateside, along with their civilian colleagues. As we learn more about who was behind this and what their motivations were, it is imperative that justice be served.

“Every day, we should give thanks for the millions of first responders working across America who are the first on the scene when tragedies like this occur. Today, we are especially grateful to Washington area first responders who have served with courage on a nightmarish day.

“May God bless them, the victims, their families and our entire armed forces who have suffered a great loss today.”
